Ok Jasper, thanks again!

Ah ok. Do I need to let the engine get hot enough to bleed that screw? Slightly worried that it'll be a bit hot, ha. Also, just to add to this (for anyone reading this in future), if you're fitting a new aux belt (like I did) make sure you check the belt tension as there is a manual tensioner along ...

Thanks for your help with this jasper. I fired her up today and everything seems to be running fine. The new aux belt was a bitch to get on and I couldn't get any coolant to come out of the bleed screw by the thermostat housing (I replaced the water pump). Any ideas why that could be? I tried squeez...

Thanks Jasper. I'll definitely follow those instructions. What's the purpose of moving the cam pulley anti-clockwise, is it to take up any slack in the system before adjusting the tensioner? I take it the belt should be quite slack then really? For example I don't think I could spin the tensioner ve...

Thanks for the reply Jasper. Thanks for clearing up the issue with the lining up of the markings on the timing belt. The first time I did a full rotation of the camshaft (from the locking pin and back) the markings on the belt no longer corresponded to markings on the sprockets and I thought it was ...

Replaced this seal today, I pretty much HAD to tighten the camshaft sprocket against the locking pin (an 8mm bolt). Initially I used a garden hoe as a camshaft sprocket holding tool to prevent the cam sprocket moving whilst tightening but when I put the new belt on and tightened the tensioner, the b...

OK, I've already posted some stuff but they are subject to moderation as I'm a new poster. Can't remember exactly what I said but someone has finally responded on the other forum saying that the camshaft is indeed keyed. I'd love some actual evidence that this is the case (can I access engine diagra...

I just took the cylinder head cover off and there could have been a slight leak in the corner by the cam sprocket. I can't decide if it's worth the risk of not changing the seal, even know I've bought it now (only a fiver). Thing is, even with the cylinder head cover off it didn't really increase vi...

Hi Jasper Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it. I've removed the old belt but everything is still pinned to TDC and I've already tipexed the belt at various positions. It seems that there's nothing for it than to make everything and hope it goes well. There's not much visibility at the ba...

Hi I'm actually a berlingo driver (I know, I know) but I'm not getting much help on the berlingo forum and you guys seems pretty knowledgeable here. I have a 2004 HDi engine (DW10TD, RHY) and whilst doing a timing belt replacement noticed some minor oil streaks coming from the cam and crankshaft oil...
