I do not have a turbo so mine is easier.I am taking the fan SHROUD out to get to the bolts easiser.That's a good call on the fan shroud. I think I may try to polish my manifold while it's off. I heard it's a PITA but it's very cheap. It may take awhile, but it's practically free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you posting those pictures, too on one of my posts, actually, when I was having problems with the timing belt. EVERYTHING (2 belts, tensioners, pulleys, water pump, don't forget the gasket) should take 5-8 hours (depending on skill level or slowing down to double check), as long as you have the right tools. My post was misleading... it took me 3 days because day 1, I had no impact gun, day 2, I stripped the screw on the tensioner pulley.. worked on it all day, then eventually with 10 minutes and a dremel I had it off Day 3 was very short.. and involved me just putting everything back on. Just make sure you have all the tools you'll need at once, and you can save the coolant for later if it's pretty new/worth saving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
