i am wondering how easy is it to change the cambelt on a xantia 2.0 16v the car is an N reg
i have seen lots on here about changing cam belts but they all seem to deal with diesels

Its not too bad a job to do but have a good read through a Haynes manual as the twin camshafts do make it a little more complicated due to having to 'reset' the sprockets onto the camshaft.

I know it is against the grain here, but I found the easiest way was to find someone else to do the job. £166 inc belt, aux belt and water pump. No sweat, no stress.
