-=2000 S80 T6=- Finally got a new Key and Remote today, programmed, good to go. However, the left doors make the sound like they are locking and unlocking but do not move. Both passenger door locks Lock and unlock with the remote AND the key. So i got a LR lock actuator from the a junkyard and talk...

I concur with the other members....once you have your Cams @ 12:00 turn them to 3:00 then back to 12:00. This unloads the VVT spring tension. Look at your Cams and see if they are both @ 12:00. Then for validity, I'd also check to make sure the Crank is on IT's mark just in case.. ALL 3 marks should...

IMO, these cars are so precision, I'd bite the bullet and Line all the marks up..This way you will know for sure and won't be laying in your bed or smoking cigarettes wondering " I wonder if"... I just went thru this. I bought one of these with a Pulled head and a box of parts. I spent hou...

Either way, i lined it up with where that Line in on the Hub....

Thank you for the fast reply... I timed mine on the Notch..or RIB.. so do I keep the Cams LOCKED until the Belt is On? Or do I Unlock the Cams then install the belt.. (I've read one set of instructions where you unlock the cams and install the belt.) I left the cams locked when I installed my belt. ...
