Has anyone done a cambelt change themselves?
« on: February 18, 2014, 09:29:46 pm »
Hi, a newbie has a question about the cambelt change.
Has anyone done it themselves here?
I have engineering background so if I get my hands on the servicing manual I think I will be able to do it.
Just wondering if anyone here has experience on it and possibly where I can get the part from since it would be quite costly here in NZ. so maybe getting it from overseas can be a cheaper option.  any info on this as well?

Thanks!

I did the cambelt plus water pump change and it was very simple to do.
