Hello Jens,

I have just completed the same job on my car. I have to ask you one very important question: did you use the special service tools?

My second question concerns the timing belt tensioner. After fitting the new front belt, did you set this up according to the procedure given only by manufacturer INA?

The notch on the crankshaft sprocket didn’t perfectly align with the “speech bubble” on my car and other members have reported the same so you can forget about that.

Ahhh. How did you remove the rear belts and sprockets with the flywheel locking pin in place?

No, but you’ll probably have to brace yourself for doing it again using a different method. I should be able to help when you’ve replied to my questions.
