Yeah, I have the Bentley manual (only available on CD
) and I have a VagCom code reader set-up on my laptop. Other than having to make a few tools (camshaft and crankshaft locks), the actual timing belt change is pretty straight forward. It was done somewhere around 80k by the PO and now has 138k on it. I have done timing belts on 944's, 911 engine rebuilds and a bunch of other "not so fun" projects, so this job will get done (but not without me b!tching and moaning about it first
).
No worries Lendaddy, what my wife thinks of you does not matter
.... I still like ya
At the price you sold it to me for, I could not stop myself even though deep down I knew I should have stuck with another BMW for her from a high mileage/reliability/repairability standpoint.
