i wouldnt pay any more than £100

The petrol at the closest staion when the light comes on ;)

I've been over in Leeds for work today, fired my car up when i was leaving and it was blowing slightly. Me thinking oh it'l last a couple of weeks yet pah i was shocked as it wasnt like it when i set off! Just as i'd come out of some roadworks on the A1, 3rd gear off we went booted it past a...

Highway i think, Giving them a ring tomorrow to let them know i'm in need of a new exhaust its not going to be a Renault jobby :cool:

Go in tell them and they'l sort it, they wont fuss if you approach them in the correct way. If anything rolls out of our bodyshop that i aint happy with it goes straight back in wether it be flatting marks, runs etc sounds like its missed the final inspection

I got a 15.6 on a cold and sleety day at York

Mine charge a big fat 0 for mods as long as theyre not OTT ones like turbos and TB :D

Standard springs have a correct way ;) Think its the paint facing the back of the car so thought it'd be worth an ask lol

Also have the same problem, I've narrowed it down to the lower engine mount which i'm going to Polyflex the top ones been chocked

Tyre pressures, Worn tyres, different brands on each corner. I reckon the TREs worn if the rests ok as i doubt lower balljoint would cause it to pull one way

as above, I got no manual with my sportlines therefore have no idea which way they were meant to go on the car obv the writings the correct way up but do they go with the writing facing the back of the car or the front or different. As ive done a few thousand miles on them now ive a slight...

1500 grit you'l be there all day with 3000

^^ Sounds like the belts too long TBH the belts are blody tight when under tension, FTR i fitted a new belt to mine, left orig tensioners etc as the belt was cracking but if the cambelt is getting done at the same time get the full kit, It wont last another 36k. I did a quick job on mine as...

Approx £2500 at a VW dealer :o

Its on teh upload but here it is from the workshop manual, It does go around the waterpump too Looks like you may have to source an alternate belt to run that setup one with 5 ribs??

Just tell them its the one with aircon, the belt will be the same length in them all except the non aircon ones, and the tenioner has loads of room to take any slack

Worn linkages

Front page of the service book usually has them

Not a fan TBH like others have said its far too low get it so the tyre wall is showing at least

Agree with that, Every car ive owned bar my 1st ive maintained them myself, To get the stamp i send it in for an oil change :o The only thing i havent yet done is a Cambelt becauswe none of my cars have needed them and i aint touching the on on the Clio the aux belt was difficult enough in the...

Is it a screeching noise as in the belt slipping? I'd have a prod about at your belt its quite noticable if the tensioners gone as it'l be slack. Is theres PAS fluid allover the belt too? you'd be best changing it if so, Ive given my engine a good clean today so i can see exactly where the...

Yep and mine has the same PAS leak by the sounds of it, I'm trying to get it booked in for warranty but not expecting anything :( Its leaking at the union and sensor by the looks too booo

You have to be careful with that Mark because theres the Aircon pipes right under the alternator so you cant put much stress on them :boring: Thats the way i ended up slipping my belt on because of the nackered tensioner then i had to compress the spring after the alternator was all bolted...

I would have but dont have the tools for doing it, I'm leaving that job to someone else now after the hassle i had today. Mark i used a 3/8 sump key and 11mm spanner back to back

The sumps stronger than you think as long as you spread the weight it'l be fine, and the tool is 3/8" :)

You jack it on the sump with a block of wood i used a few towels too

Well i did it but what a b*****d lol I think the pics will speak for themselves but just incase, this is what you have to do to change the Aux belt on a 182 with aircon, You dont have to take the bumper and Slam panel off like Mike says but it makes it a whole load easier on your back Good...

sorry to bump such an old thread, but has anyone got any pics of their modded tool for this job

Exactly as it says it tensions the belt be it either the Cambelt or aux belt there will be a tensioner for each
