Re: APU 1.8t cam chain tensioner

i had a second thought about this, you cant remove the tensioner without taking both cams out and the front timing off

Re: APU 1.8t cam chain tensioner

it is easier to remove the front belt and replace it at the same time, makes it easier to time the two cams together which has to be done before the fronts timed up if that makes sense, also are you sure its not the hydraulic follwers rather then the chain tensioner?

Re: lowering on 17" alloys.

do all these cars have roughly the same arch to tyre gap? is the only difference sill to floor gap?
does that make sense to anyone?
