Chris, Skodas use VW parts, including engines on most models now, you might get more luck on the VW watercooled group. (Unless of course, there is a Skoda one). >> > anybody done cambelt on one of these? >> Sorry i know this is a peugeot site but some one might of done one.all i [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > get more luck on the VW watercooled group.

I think its the 1600 golf engine ??, if so then the belt is relatively easy to do, once the engine mount is out of the way, im sure its not a difficult job for a mechanic, or even a person with mechanical knowledge, Fitzy >>>>> anybody done cambelt on one of these? >>>> Sorry i know this is a peugeot site but some one might of done one.all i [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > mechanical knowledge, > Fitzy Could not do cambelt on this car due to the bottom nut being very tight. had big bar in it and every thing locked up and still did not move , broke my socket and bar trying to undo this nut so i will try a air gun next time which is going to be very soon. >>>>>> anybody done cambelt on one of these? >>>>> Sorry i know this is a peugeot site but some one might of done one.all [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > my socket and bar trying to undo this nut so i will try a air gun next > time which is going to be very soon. Probably a silly question, but it wouldn't be a left hand thread would it. I had that on a crankshaft nut years ago.

Is is a nut or a bolt? I had the same trouble on a 306 TD recently. The air gun was also useless. They do use locktite on the threads, and if you can get heat onto the bolt this can soften it. This would be easier if it is indeed a nut. I ended up breaking the lower plastic cover in order to remove it, and feeding the cambelt round the larger pulley. Would this be possible on your engine? >>>>>>> anybody done cambelt on one of these? >>>>>> Sorry i know this is a peugeot site but some one might of done [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > feeding the cambelt round the larger pulley. > Would this be possible on your engine? No cant remove any bottom covers to do that if i could i would have done that. >>>>>>>> anybody done cambelt on one of these? >>>>>>> Sorry i know this is a peugeot site but some one might of done [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > No cant remove any bottom covers to do that if i could i would have done > that. All good suggestions here,,, but I would be a bit reluctant to use heat, and then the air gun, as I have seen a few bolts snap off and leave the thread in the crank, I have always favoured the breaker bar and socket, with a helper holding the socket on the bolt while the bar rests on the floor, then turn the ignition key ,,, providing the engine turns clockwise, this should do the trick, mind you ,,I have bent a few snap-on bars using this method, but it has never failed yet !!
