#1: Need a how to for Remove-Refit of the timing belt. Author: TheGTIlad, Location: LeedsPosted: Sun Nov 13, 2011 6:52 am ---- Basically as the title says really. Going to buy a timing belt kit as i have an annoying squeel from the timing side of my engine on a 2.0 gti 136.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A Haynes manual is useful but it does the job in a 307 which isn't as difficult.

#4: Re: Need a how to for Remove-Refit of the timing belt. Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Sun Nov 13, 2011 9:57 am ---- kieron posted one on here for a 2.0i which I used for our CC without any problems.
I used bolts rather than trying to find the cam lock/pins .. which is exactly how a local Pug specialist recommended I did it ...
Thank you very much mate! Much appreciated!

If mine is 97k, and the period is 60k or 5 years, is it possible mines had one already or can some last this long on one cambelt?
