Ok great, Am I correct in reading the 2.3l hpt engine should be timed with the exhaust 1 tooth retarded?
Many thanks, Dan

Had a good read and was very informative, was just wondering if you used any of the specialist cam/crank locking tools as ive heard they are very helpful but not 100% necessary.
Many thanks, Dan

Ahh ok makes sense, timing was probably incorrectly done as the previous timing belt was done at a chain automotive store and ive heard the procedure is pretty complicated. Any ideas on how much work it is to fix and if its necessary?
many thanks,
Dan

Hi all, I recently checked my vida for the first time and found code ECM-644A Camshaft control - Faulty position. I then checked the camshaft nominal vs shift angle, at idle the nominal angle is 15 degrees and the shift angle slightly fluctuates around this (+-0.5 degrees) however when on throttle t...

Hi guys,
My SC-901’s Dolby Pro Logic mode sounds really muddy and faded compared to normal stereo and 3 channel modes. Any idea what could be causing this or what usually fails in these units?
Many thanks,

Hi everyone, The passenger cv shaft in my c70 has started to go and needs replacement and I had a few questions. Does the cv from the 850 fit the c70? Or are the dimensions different. I have seen mentions of people rebuilding their own cvs and I was wondering if there was a kit to do this? Many than...

Hi, I have the code p1618 on my 2000 C70 with 270k km, apparently this is the code the ecu throws when there is an error in the TCU, transmission shifts fine but if i try limit it to 1st i get a flashing up arrow and the car seems to get stuck in a higher gear (no acceleration but drives fine at hig...

Hi Neil,
Thankyou very much for the response, will check all those shortly, is it possible to check the transmission torque mount?

Hi guys, Noob here. I have a 99 C70 coupe T5 with 270000km Issue 1: There is a creaking/clicking sound that happens every time i engage or disengage the throttle, there also seems to be a small amount of slack before it engages. The sound is definitely loudest in 1st but still happens in other gears...
