1.6 timing belt

Sep 02, 2009 3 Replies

hi,



i may have the chance to trade doing a 91 1.6 timing belt for some upholstery work. clearly i have done the 1.8 timing belt a few times :), is there any thing vastly different doing the 1.6? i think it would be a good idea to do the water pump at the same time. but other than that, is the 1.6 tb fairly straight forward?

I assume that you know about the potential crank issue with 1990 and early 1991 models. Beyond that possibility, it is the same job.

no kindly enlighten me (is this the cam shaft issue i have heard about but never really listened to?)

thanks, i appreciate your reply. peter

after reading about the crank issue, i am not sure i would want to get in the middle of a timing belt job and discover a bad crank...however, i will look at the guys vin and go from there.

thanks pat

peter
