  • Timing Belt time

    As the title suggests, its time to replace the timing belt on my Vento. I have an 8 valve 2 litre motor. Anyone got any tips or links to a "how to" for the job? I have reasonably good mechanical skills and have dabbled in all sorts of mechanical repairs in the past, so this job is not beyond me, although the finer points of this particular engine are new to me.
    I already have the belt and a new tensioner.
    Thanks in advance.

    Check this page out - MKIII Timing Belt and full water pump page.

    I used that to do mine and got it done easily!
    Past: Mk3 Golf 2L 8V, Audi 8L A3T.
    Present: Mk3 Golf variant.

      Thanks rayray086, Just read through the "how to". Lots to take in. Might have another read or two before I go ahead with the job. Maybe over Easter, between Easter Eggs!

        Not as daunting as it seems mate
