2000(W) 1.6 Sport Belt Changes

Post by dyno »

Morning guys,

My 1.6 sport is coming up to 65k miles (and unmodified!), so thinking of getting the belts changed (timing/cam + aux). Firstly, does anyone know if the 1.6 has a chain or a belt? Secondly, can anyone offer any advice to changing them yourself? I've done this on my previous cars, but they had a bit more space around the engine compartment!~

Cheers all,

Dyno
