DIY - Cam Chain and Tensioner Guide
whitemoredooor:
Thats exactly what i did do with regards to cam adjuster and chain, it was minimal turning to the inlet cam to get it on but obviously enough for it to throw it off, car was at temperature when reading was taken

I'm just in the process of doing this job with the help of this brilliant guide, much appreciated rich . Ive removed the cam cover and cam chain cover and considering the mileage the engine has done (108,000), everything seems to be in good condition. Should I still go ahead and change the tensioner and timing chain? I'm not sure if the previous owner replaced it as there is no record of this in the service history. Would it be advised for a piece of mind as I will be fitting a hybrid K04 in the next month or two.
Here's the condition and a quick video.

i wouldn't just disassemble it for the sake of it, if you strip it then change it so you might as well :grin:
