Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / June 2006156 - Variator
OK - the dreaded "diesel rattle at startup" is back. Question - can the variator be replaced without doing cambelt etc. at the same time (I had cambelt done 12000 miles / 32 months ago) ? Dave S... 156 2.0 SP2 '98 :>)) It's only rock 'n' roll ... Yes, believe so. When my cambelt was last changed, the service advisor said the variator didn't need to be changed and that it could be changed later when the "diesel rattle" surfaces. No it's not first hand experience :-) > OK - the dreaded "diesel rattle at startup" is back. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > It's only rock 'n' roll ... > Question - can the variator be replaced without doing cambelt etc. at > the same time (I had cambelt done 12000 miles / 32 months ago) ? Sure, but you will pay for work anyway. Replacement needs cambelt off and price of cambelt is not that high, so... Szymon When replacing the variator the belt has to come off, and it would be better to put a new belt back as there is a chance of damaging the old one without knowing. If this is due i would make it worth my while it get the water pump changed also, for £20 to £40 its worth doing so you dont have to remove the CAM belt yet again before its due. roger >> Question - can the variator be replaced without doing cambelt etc. at >> the same time (I had cambelt done 12000 miles / 32 months ago) ?
