C5 cambelt change and the 'Search' facility

Johnno · Post by **Johnno** » 16 Mar 2011, 22:16

Ok, so perhaps I'm being lazy, but I've never had much luck searching this (or other) fora. I've searched using "c5 AND cambelt" plus other arrangements, but get a load of non-related stuff and I suspect it's just my lack of understanding. Perhaps someone can enlighten me?

But the simple truth is that I need to change the c/belt on my 2.2 and wondered if there is an instruction set anywhere. For instance, do I need to lock the engine and, if so, how? How does the tensioner release and is it obvious once you remove the covers? My 2.1 Xantia was a pig to work on, so I'm keen to know what I'm facing before starting.

Any assistance (for both searching this forum and changing cambelts!) gratefully received.

I have some good info.

It's in a Word document which I can email to you if you pm me with your email address.

edit: it's ok, I see the email link on your post. I've sent the doc.

The best way I find to search for things on here is to go on google, then at the right of the text box where you put what you want to search for, click Advanced Search.

Then type what you want to search for and put:

www.frenchcarforum.co.uk

In the "Search within a site or domain:" box (bottom box), then press enter.

This usually works well for me!
