#16: Re: 206 GTI 180 Timing Belt Change Author: wasssssup, Location: west midsPosted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:04 pm ---- Is it really necessary to do that last bit on the printout about turning the crank pully after putting the belt on?
#17: Re: 206 GTI 180 Timing Belt Change Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:06 pm ---- Presumably its to make sure the belts on correctly?
#18: Re: 206 GTI 180 Timing Belt Change Author: ramigojag, Location: worcestershirePosted: Wed Dec 07, 2011 12:07 pm ---- I think because if its been timed wrong turning the crank by hand will not damage anything whereas if you start it and its timed wrong....
Woops

I think you only need to do that if the holes don't line up again after fitting the new belt and turning it over by hand! I know when I did the CCs (138bhp), everything was fine and holes lined up fine. I even had a local Pug/Citroen specialist have a look as he was around sorting my air con.
Took me about 6 hours, but I took my time as I wanted it to be right! Getting the covers on/off requires some dexterity!

the first time i had mine done, they locked the exhaust cam in the wrong pin, making it be 1 tooth out, but it made a big difference on noise/performance, so make sure everything is locked up solidly and double check everything...you don't want to be doing it twice.
