Cam Belt Cover

Recommended Posts

kilauea

Argh! Just had one of those really annoying sweating swearing sessions in the garage.

I had my cam-belt changed by some charalaton who calls himself a "Peugeot specialist", and he didn't bother his arse to put the bottom two bolts in the cam belt cover (Metal type). Of course, it rattles like s*it under acceleration.

 

Anyway, I think I got some bolts to fit - but I am starting work out why he didn't bother now. I think my hands are too big or something cos I can't get near to them. Anyone got any nifty tips to get them on or clever work arounds?

 

Ta',

G.

They are just plain awkward, try supporting the engine on a jack and removing the top half of the engine mount to get (slightly) better access.

Cheers Tom.

 

I just managed to get the front lower one in - but now the top two don't line up and you can forget the lowest one!

At least I'm not doing anything stupid - I might try your tip tomorrow.

 

How risky would it be to run without the cover if I had to btw?

I personally don't like to but each to their own. It came off so with a bit of perseverance it ought to go back.
