Title: Missing Cam Gear and Bolt
Post by: silentdub on July 18, 2011, 11:16:34 am

Are the cam gears the same on an 8V and 1.6D?

I am guessing not, but what do I know. The engine I have had a broken timing belt and it was complete, except for the belt, cam gear and bolt.

I have an 8V spare, but if needed, I can get one specific for the 1.6 cheap.

you need a diesel cam sprocket, its totally different from a gasser sprocket.

It figures.  :(


I have a friend with a spare, so I'll have him send me one.


Thanks man!
