Cantabrico blue S5U paint code. No idea on the centre cap situation as yours has got the wheels from a mk3 ibiza sport. Seat might still sell the though.... Worth asking david at sere motors on here. part numbers 6K0601149D or 6K0601149AA depends which year car the wheels came from. There might be a part number on the centre caps you have though.

Dunno where your getting your cambelt from, but while your doing it replace the tensioner and other roller on it otherwise you'll kick yourself when they fall apart and kill your engine. The proper way of doing the cambelt is described in the tdiclub.com faq. The alternator belt you first take off the power steering belt. Then just use a lever to slacken the spring loaded tensioner wheel and slide it off.

Aircon doesn't effect the cambelt and that kit "should" be ok. Just make sure it is for the tdi. It Will affect the alternator belt though. If you live close to a eurocarparts your better off going in person as if you have problems it's much easier to sort out.

Umm you'll need to buy all the parts. Don't know how you go about getting it to match your key though. What i would do is just stick a delocked one on the passenger side and use your passenger side one on the drivers side. Just take the handle out and the lock comes with it. To get a delocked handle go to a scrappy and get a handle from the back of a 4 door polo.

I would definetely change the tensioners with the cambelt.

My cambelt was changed before I bought my car but the tensioners hadn't, and when I replaced it the last belt had stretched and was hitting the cam belt cover because the tensioner had stopped working and wasnt tensioning the belt. :blink:

I was really lucky that it didnt slip off the pulleys or anything like that.
