DIY cambelt change on a 1.6 FSi

[perksy]

Does anyone know of a guide for changing the cambelt on a 1.6Fsi A2?

I've found a how-to for the 1.4 here http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?6583-DIY-cambelt-replacement but nothing for the 1.6.

I also looked on youtube and again there are plenty of guides for the 1.4 like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QFU02HNhmc but none for the 1.6.

Now, I know by looknig at my own car and the videos the two are superficially the same, but I'd like a 1.6 specific guide if possible.

I've never done a cambelt before but really fancy giving it a go. I've done most other things so this really should be something I have a go at.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

Sorry, I've also looked but can't find anything specific to the FSi.

Perksy,

Here's some documents detailing the replacement process from ElsaWin.
The filenames relate to the red chapter links of the items within the main 'Details' document.

Wow - many thanks Steve! That is absolutely spot on!

I'll download and print all those documents off shortly.

Right, now I've got no excuse not to have a go.

Many thanks again Steve for your time and trouble.

i never use guilds, I always just paint the old one before removal and then paint the new one and refit, this way you can be sure it's fitted correctly and not slipped a tooth.
