Not sure if they fit mate, but if the belt needed done then I would have got it done, ur lucky you weren't on the motorway when that happened

Unlucky, buddy. Sorry to hear. Mine got changed at 120.000 km, but was still in good shape at the time according to the dealer. I did it to be on the safe side. Then it was done again at 220,000 km, but the belt did show serious signs of wear this time around. Go figure. SEAT recommend a change every 90.000 km or 6 years whichever the first, but that will depend of the wear.

Gutted for you... If you were closer I'd give you a hand!

Might be worth considering a large port head as you've got to replace it anyway.

I'd suggest pulling the head before deciding on head or full engine though, chances are you've not done the pistons etc. much damage but it's worth confirming.

 

[Bigjohn84]

Same hear mate if you stayed near by I would have gave you a hand, I'm coming down ur way on the 26th for a week to my dads, if I wasn't coming down with my son and partner then I could have helped

 

[Cuprakev]

Thanks for the kind thoughts lads i would attempt this myself but i aint got the kit every garage i speak to wants to take the car away and rebuild the whole engine for 2 grand lol but thats out the question ive bought a head that been skimmed new calve seals seats reground just needs timing up and fitting . I hate using garages most of them are just total rip off sayin it needs this it needs that i have to find somone honest hard work in this day and age lol

 

[Cuprakev]

If theres anyone out there that would help me swap this head ide pay them extreamly well but they would have to have the correct tools for the bolts for head and hex key turbo bolts

Pop down to a local toolshop, you just need a long ribe set for the head bolts and the hex like sockets are readily available at Halfords etc.

If you're handy with a spanner give it a go, just make sure the head bolts get torqued properly and triple check the timing before starting it

 

[Cuprakev]

Yh thinkin of doin the job but would rather have somone help me whos done this before ide pay somone 300 quid to help me do this if theres anyone out there willing ????

 

[Cuprakev]

The head bolts are they strech bolts that can only be used once? Ive ordered this head 331802762436 ebay full top end gasket set ecs ultimate cam belt kit with g12 coolant is there anythin else ill need ?

 

[Cuprakev]

There must be somone out there that could help a fellow lcr owner fit this head and earn there selfs 300 quid ???

 

[pedro1989]

Replace the head bolts, for the price of them it's a no brainer, they're 10 year old bolts and gone through God knows how many heat cycles now.

 

[Cuprakev]
