stupidity and people not knowing what they're doing is the main issue

i had my new rb 182 2 months ago and it says on the recipes that it was done 5 months ago i took my top mount off and i can see the dephraser pully is brand new and the belt .There is no timing marks so im guessing its been done by locking tools and its had new cam caps were the locking tool goes but does this mean it can still off be done wrong cause i dont want my engine breaking

depends who did it? If it was a main dealer or one of the specialists then you should be fine

plus you CANNOT replace the dephaser without the tools, 10000000% impossible

well i so didnt now wot to do so iv just come from the garage and the timming is spot on :p the thing is people were telling me to get it checked out and people were telling me to go pay 300 400 pound to have the timming redone but my mate from vw who as done the timing on his clio sport twice as just confurmed that it is smack on all the tools line up so im glad i didnt waste my money on it ..... time to put it all back together tomoz .. thanks for ur help i dont now if this was done buy the right tools or not but there is also marks on the crank so who ever done it as done it with out the tools id say and a good job to thanks for ur help but all i wanted to now was it done tidy my friend said if it wasnt u would now about it as in tick over cutting out so on he also said that if a car was out buy 2 to 3 teeth it is most likely u would bend the vavle but any way i all runs sweat and as i said timing is bang on :)

In case i am missing somthing obvious here all people have done throughout this thread is offer you advice and these people know what they are on about, the specialists know these cars inside out much better in fact than your mate who works at VW. Im going to echo what everyone else has said and say please get your timing checked by a professional its not worth a rebuild and i certanly wouldnt trust a VW mechanic to check the timing on my 182 id be straight on the phone to a specialst booking my car in for a timing check asap.

Also you keep going on about paying for a new belt all anyone has advised on here is to get it checked which will cost around £67 using freds quatation surely its worth that for peace of mind and if shock horror the belts are timed incorrectly then you will just have to cough up and get the job done properly. Its also worrying me that you keep going on about just the timimg belt the car should have had BOTH the full aux/cambelt kit fitted inc all tensioners have you got proof of this being done (thought not) or are you just going to keep on being ignorant and carry on ignoring advice from the specialists!?

LISTEN to the advice being given FFS.

I'm going to start taking bets on how long it is before the 'My cambelt has just snapped' thread appears.

advice was to get it checked and i did i can do timing it not that hard and as for my mate at vw he will now more than u will ever now .so who are u to bad mouth him?????? as for my mates car u all say if it down on power.( timing is out!) if it fast than my friend 172 .(timing is out)! if it does not cut out (timing is out )!cos its faster than my mates (timing is out)cos theres no lumpy tick over (timing is out) !... no people on here have also said to get the belt changed as well and as my mate as done his belts twice on his 182 and he works for vw he is a specialist i then for vw witch is more than u :p as for the aux belt kit yes i do have paper work for it i was not on about that i just ask about the timing iv had i check buy a specialist for free and it fine so would of wasted 67 pound for nothing

you do realize that if your aux belt went theres a good chance it could take your timing lebt with it too? sure i read on here somewhere that this happened to a guy. so aux belt is just as important tbh.

well could you atleast put a k infront of now if you mean know? thats the most confusing.
 
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this thread. 6 pages of someone asking for advice then sticking their fingers in their ears and going "LA LA LA LA LA". Awesome.
 
someone please lock this?

god i'm welsh and can write, understand professional advice and dont think because my whip brapples a chum all is ok.


its painful this.
