safety69 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Is it a hard job to fit a new cambelt, i know it takres fair bit of time, but could i do it myself. i'm fairly good at hands on stuff and i've got the haynes guide to help me if i get stuck. dont really wanna be paying garage prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitas3 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 it is made more difficult due to the location of the belt/ancillary components and the bodywork. As someone who used to service my old RS4 told me: 'I'd rather do the cambelts on the RS4 compared to the S3/TT'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo-S3 Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 need to be very careful to make sure your at TDC when changing it and that everything is done properly. Ive changed one on an S3 and it is very very cramped down there. You need small nimble hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my cambelt on my previous 1.6 A3.It was reletivly easy BUT, make sure you have a good idea what your doing or you may destroy your engine on start up!
