jim21070 2 Posted March 9, 2007 I'll be changing the cambelt on the Turbo this weekend. I'll also be replacing the tensioner and water pump. Any thoughts please on setting the cambelt tension? My gut feeling would be to set it so you can just turn the belt through 90 degrees on its longest run. Many thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks. i've got the joke book for the XM somewhere, i'll have a looksie. i don't hold out much hope tho its got a discalimer all the way through saying 'at the time of publication no definative manufacturer specs were available for the turbo engine' Edited March 9, 2007 by tom_m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
