Scooter Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 with your car being so new i'd think just the belt would be fine....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you think about auxillary belt? Should i change it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 The best thing is to change everything.. Cam Belt, Tentioner, and the Aux belt... Do you need too? No not really, Ive see the Tentioners reused and the Aux belt.. (Must be in good order obviously) HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would change cambelt and aux belt at the same time when i will do my N/A-T conversion. Also i will change valve stem seals as i will change headgasket anyway... Just for peace of mind. It doesn't cost much. idler=pulley? Thanks Tomasz One quick question (i don't want to start new thread): I have read FAQ about spark plugs, but i still not sure which spark plugs i should buy. N/A-T peak boost 1.2 bar. Any recommendation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the cambelt going round the two cam pulleys and the crank..........from the left hand side (looking from the front) the cambelt is put under tenison by a tensioner (simple plunger) acting on a pivoting idler wheel. If the idler wheel is worn it can be noisey and also the bracket its attached to can fail........ Yours being so new i suspect the tensioner and wheel are fine but replacing takes away any small risks i spose......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
