Thanks for that dogslife. I feel confident taking this on TBH, having just one cam pulley to worry about (along with the crank pulley) should make getting the belt on & tensioned easier.

Any info on torque settings for the bolts that go back on? Or is this stuff in the Haines manual?

Tks for that dogslife. On a separate note are you running the 180BHP remap defap file doing the rounds on the 406CC forum? Any issues with it? Any worries about the turbo, piping, brakes not being up to all the extra horses? Have not done this yet but have my hands on the ECU remap file and Galletto...

Thanks guys for that info. Am I correct in saying that although the car is a DOHC there is only one camshaft pulley and that the 2 camshafts are connected by a chain?

A good reference and some useful tips.

Thanks for that. Might get in touch when I go to Defap my car.

Dogslife, on the link you provided it mentions "dealer servicing manual you can download for free". Got any idea where I can get this?

Tks

Thanks very much for the reply and the link Yeah, i'm gonna take the same 'overkill' approach as yourself. I'm replacing the cam belt, idler & tensioner as well as the aux belt, idler and tensioner and prob the crankshaft pulley as well. Going to slip off the aux belt first and check the idler/tensi...
