Cam belt and water pump change!

[Black TDI Turbo]

Anyone got the procedures for doing a belt on a mk3 ibiza cupra?

i go down on sundays aswell and the odd weekday. yeah they look simple to do, they have only got one cam on thats probably why. Mine has just been done before i brought it so saved me a job anyway!

1 cam???

theres two cams mate, just one cam pully. chain on the other end of the cams! lol

Black_20V_Turbo: this is how i did it....

- remove engine cover
- remove hose from side of aux water pump, move it out the way
- remove vacuum pipe from inlet, move it out the way
- remove alternator belt
- remove alternator tensioner, 3 pins
- remove top timing belt cover, 3 clips
- remove middle timing belt cover, 3 pins
- remove wheel arch cover, 4 pins
- remove alternator belt pulley from crack pulley, 4 pins
- remove bottom timing belt cover, 2 pins

everything should now be exposed for removal

- obtain a 60mm long m5 pin and large m5 washer, compress the tenioner piston to slacken the belt.
- remove tensioner, 1 pin
- remove piston and roller, 2 pins
- remove water pump, 3 pins

- then fit the new parts as it is clear from the removal how things go back together!

- check timing marks

- tension the belt

- make sure the timing is bang on by turning the engine over by hand using a 19mm socket on the crank pulley bolt a couple of times, may be stiff from the compression in the cylinders.

- replace all covers and hoses

- fire in!

hope that was some use to you?

nothing too difficult

Got my car back last nigth having had cambelt, waterpump, tensioners, full service on engine and brakes and the car feels awesome. Another excuse to have an aimless drive around

Sorry to drag up an old thread but can anyone recommend a good place to get a metal impeller water pump from (as well as the cambelt kit)?

Looking over this thread it looks like TTS and ECP? Just has to be a metal pump that's all and I'm aware these are non genuine

TIA, Rob
