Replacing the timing belt on an Alfa TwinSpark 16v (4/8)

[srsgrandmaster]

thats incorrect should loosen variator first to get correct tention

Je kunt er toch nog aardig bij.

Ik moet binnenkort wat aan mijn Fiat Coupe doen.

Daarvan is het lager van de balansas nogal rumoerig.

Vraagje>>> Zit er op een Fiat Coupe 2.0 16v ook een nokkenasversteller Ik kan het nergens vinden. Dat is dezelfde motor als de Lancia Delta en turbo integrale.

Kan ik dat thuis zelf doen??? of beter in de garage?

+  Ik hoop dat ik erbij kan.

Bosch mafs are crap (german)

Replaced my german maf on my alfa and the surge at 3000 is back, happy days

Try Maf test, unplug and go for drive, if power returns then replace the maf, its a bosch part and is not 100% reliable (made in germany lol)..

Car won't idle disconnected but will drive fine on the move...powerloss normally Maf

Just had my belts done inc variator, water pump and balance belt.

I have now noticed the car is not so powerful especially when the variable valve

timing kicks in, no more shove in the seat feel, i suspect timing may be out.

Was done by specialist using correct tools, how do i check if timing is correct, thanks

Does the variator always need changing every 36,000 if its had regular oil changes

ie every 6 months with good 10w/ 40 oil ?

Or have they improved the variator to last longer....

[Pinin500]

@alfistii1 ; Change variator every other belt service, as long as oil is done evry 6 months filter also..

Normally the waterpump will be replaced. However, on this car the waterpump was recently changed. The mechanic explains this in dutch.
