slimtim 0 Posted January 19, 2006 My 2.0l 16 valve has developed an engine-area squeal and I want to have a look at the state of the cambelt tensioner. Now this may seem like a dumb question but how do I remove the cam cover? ETKA shows an M6 allen-head bolt that seems to fix the top half of the cam cover but my cam cover has no such bolt (nor hole to put it through). Is it just a case of yanking it upward? - it seems to be held somewhere. Does anyone have any pointers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted January 19, 2006 I am also planning to change my cam cover gasket, does anyone have a dummies guide with pics? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slimtim 0 Posted January 19, 2006 OK, sorted it. There is a horridly placed bolt at the back. 5mm allen key required. Thankfully there are no filings or swarf around the tensioner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
