Hi guys and gals, it is coming up to time for me to change the timing belt on me 200Tdi 90.
I have never done this before and am a little nervous about just how much I can get wrong while doing it, I also don't have a timing pin kit.
I am sure I have read somewhere about a method of changing by cutting half the old belt off, placing the new on as far as it will go, and then cutting the remainder of the old belt off and fully locating the new belt.
Is this a feasable idea? it seems to me that it might be a work around instead of buying a timing pin kit which I shall never use again.
