#1: Cam belt replacement schedule Author: Heffalump, Location: BanburyPosted: Thu Dec 16, 2010 10:26 am ---- Hiya Chaps,
Just replaced the cambelt on my GLX, how often should it be done? I'm thinking about setting the maintainance reminder thing for that amount, as I don't need to remember to change the oil, as a good amount of clean stuff goes in the top every week

#4: Re: Cam belt replacement schedule Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Dec 16, 2010 10:42 am ---- Didn't even read that far
Topping up oil every week isn't a good sign!

It's blown across an oil gallery on the corner, there's more pressing things wrong with it at the moment, and money's the big one!
ETA: thanks for the replies, I've forgotten how to reset the maintainance reminder on the dash now.

#9: Re: Cam belt replacement schedule Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2017 9:53 am ---- The GTI 180 engine requires special locking tools for timing the engine up, most mechanics / garages should now have the tools / skill to replace the belt on one of these.
