Re: Xantos and Xantia madness
On the ES9 I doubt there's room to insert the clamping tool and also because they're verniers, that's not the bit to lock, it's the inner hub that needs locking and that can only be locked with pins..Stickyfinger wrote:OK.....but why ( just out of curiosity )
All you need for the ES9 is five 8mm rods...

No worries, the ES9 is actually deceptively easy to do...Stickyfinger wrote:Cheers mate......I (Mr thicko) understand now
Next time I'm down your way I'll bring the timing kit down and do a demo on your spare engine....

Re: Xantos and Xantia madness
Yesterday changed the auxiliary belt and tensioners on TD. Quite pricey these things... It was squeking and the belt was vibrating. Now wouldn't it be nice if the belt snapped and got pulled into the timing belt

It has happened with quite devastating consequences Xantos so very wise, even though it's not the easiest job in the world...xantos wrote:Now wouldn't it be nice if the belt snapped and got pulled into the timing belt![]()
A loose auxiliary getting tangled up in the cambelt can easily wreck the head...

Re: Xantos and Xantia madness
all the pics came up today, but obviously not the day I posted the pic
I've had a few reboots in between so that might have helped clear things up.
Now that I can see what is going on I must give props on the V6 Activa
