Uhh, as witnessed by my post, I'm probably a blind person trying to lead another, but I'll offer-- You might try your local library system. The one near me (in US), used to have a pretty nice selection of "Chilton Repair Manuals". Alas, , they cleared them out, now subscribe to two 'on-line' systems. They are not nearly as good in my mind, (less words, much poorer pictures/diagrams etc.) but they will give you a start. But, , beware, if your valves overlap with where the piston travels, and you goof --- uf dah, real expensive posibilities exist. > Anyone spotted any guides on the changing a cambelt on a mk4 golf 1.6 2001 > model AZD engine.

I could not describe it as a "Dummy's Guide" to changing timing belts :-) It's just one way for owners who are "capable" of doing the job "properly" to get the "Trade info" without buying the complete Autodata manual.

(just joking) Silly me I'll go google it usually has the worlds information at a click of the button. > Anyone spotted any guides on the changing a cambelt on a mk4 golf 1.6 > 2001 model AZD engine.

I can email the pages from the workshop manual if it helps: email me a working email address- mine is valid if you remove the spamtrap. >> Anyone spotted any guides on the changing a cambelt on a mk4 golf 1.6 >> 2001 model AZD engine.

Thx >>> Anyone spotted any guides on the changing a cambelt on a mk4 golf 1.6 >>> 2001 model AZD engine. [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Thx You have email. Like I said, it refers to VW dealer tools, but should give an idea. If you're considering doing it, get a Haynes book as well. >>>> Anyone spotted any guides on the changing a cambelt on a mk4 golf 1.6 >>>> 2001 model AZD engine.

Added to my bedtime reading list :) have a look for a copy of "ElsaWin" on the net. You can probably buy copies from ebay for a few quid or even download it for free from torrent sites etc. Basically, ElsaWin is the service software VW/Audi use in the workshops. It's like an online manual and is very detailed. |
