    After far too many years I've decided to give the car a cambelt change. The old one looked very good considering its been on there 8 years, but don't want to take risks. Anyway, currently trying to fit the new one and am not convinced I've got it on correctly. The cams and crank seem to be lined up correctly using the pins, but the tension of the belt doesn't feel right on the top run between the two camshaft spockets. It feels very loose, but I can't pull it any tighter as it's not quite a whole tooth stretch to do this. I suppose a good way of knowing whether I've got the belt on correctly is counting the teeth on the run between the two cam sockets. Would anyone know how many teeth I would expect to have if counting between the 12 o'clock position on each sprocket (assuming the engine in a vertical, not the normal tilted, position)?

    Hi please help. Bought myself an engine off a good mate... Long story short is he messed up cambelt change and never locked off cams. I've managed to sort it out to my knowledge by locking off cams in there locking position, pretty much common knowledge !. I also locked off crank but dont know whether if it's " coming or going" if you know what a mean, is the crank in wrong position, upside down?. I asked a friend mechanic who tells me usually piston 1 is TDC ! Closest to cams.if all 3 pins are aligned. I locked off all 3 put new belt on and turned it by hand 10 times. Can hear the compression. And both cam and crank sensors roughly hit there marks the same time. My worry is that when I line up all three locking points that piston 1 isn't TDC. And when I put piston 1 in TDC the 3 pins don't match there locking holes. Please help.

    G'day all, Figured a UK forum might be the go here; I have a 1988 Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 that has just arrived here in Tasmania from the UK. I want to change the cambelt and with it the tensioner and the water pump but not sure which I need. The engine has the tag 'D6B' Do I get 113 tooth or 114? Which tensioner? Which water pump? Better still, can anyone recommend a complete kit and where I can get it? eBay listings seem very vague and contradictory! Cheers Mike
