#1: TU5JP cam belt and clutch change Author: Spanerman, Location: Neath, South Wales.Posted: Sat Oct 23, 2010 9:20 am ---- Right chaps, when doing the cam belt is it just a case of taking the mount and ECU out then locking up then locking the crank on the fly wheel, does the camshaft have a lock? or is it just a case of using some tipex?
on the clutch can i just undo all the bolts holding the box to engine and take the shafts and gear box mounts off and hoik the boxe to one side to access the clutch

Do you have a Haynes manual?
If you need to ask what to do then I wouldn't do it on a daily driver ...

I would have done it myself but the parts are 105quid and for that price i just couldn't be asked. Last edited by JG220 on Sat Oct 23, 2010 1:06 pm; edited 1 time in total

#10: Re: TU5JP cam belt and clutch change Author: JG220, Location: At my deskPosted: Sat Oct 23, 2010 1:16 pm ---- really?
I just can't see how. Most independants round here wanted between 350 and 450quid. Gti is very tight and most decide to remove both mounts. Most therefore quote 4.6 hours.
So 100quid less would be 139.99. The cheapest cambelt kit is 80quid from GSF carparts. You really think that someone will fit if for less than 60quid? I'm not convinced.
#11: Re: TU5JP cam belt and clutch change Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Oct 23, 2010 1:49 pm ---- I got quoted 160, had people on here saying 140 is a good price not so while ago - apart from that I have no idea.
Anything over 200 seems overpriced imo

1.1, 1.4, 1.6 cost less to change cambelt.
Gti and 180Gti cost nearly double in price
