Tech Diesel Cam Belt?

dream_civic · 14th October 2007, 09:32

Hi all,

Saving for a Type S Diesel, and have a question....

Can somebody tell me if the car has a timing belt or chain? And what is the servicing schedule and costs for this?

Cheers!

vteclover · 14th October 2007, 09:42

no need to change because its a chain

TTDegs · 14th October 2007, 10:07

yep, chain with an auto-tensioner

dream_civic · 15th October 2007, 12:12

Excellent, thanks guys.

A chain............... just how it should be too!

no more £500 cam belt changes from the stealer!!!

freddo1 · 19th October 2007, 00:14

No more shredded cam belt teeth and sending the valves through the top of the pistons either

dream_civic · 19th October 2007, 07:49

Yep,

My current car is an Alfa 156 2.4 JTD, and the cam belt change on that is expensive. It'll be good to get that bill crossed off the list!!

Cheers!

Diesel is the twin cam one:

Excellent Engine photos, do you have a similar one for the type R ?

Is that the oil filter in a nice high accessible location on the diesel ?

Pottsy · 19th October 2007, 12:30

I don't, sadly.

And yes, the filter is easy to get at!

What an excellent filter design!

However - guessing that that was the only space left or something rather than actually making it easy to service by design.

Excellent pictures............ thanks Pottsy.

Great photos! The diesel seems to have gear as well as chain drive

One driven off the chain, t'other by a straight-cut gear. Neat.

does the 1.8 have a cam belt?

Pretty sure that the lower picture (one with the red thing on top - dip stick?) is the 1.8 and you can see that the single camshaft is driven by a chain.

On the diesel, I notice there are 2 chains - the other being a wee toatie one which only serves to drive the balance shaft in the sump.

Cute.
