Hi

Looking to change timing belt etc done a few previously, however was wondering if there's a DIY guide for CR engines, not sure if there's little bits to look out for that make it more tricky to do etc
I've got a Leon FR170 if that makes a difference?

Watch out for the tensioner stud as they can bend and if it's bent or at an angle it will work the nut off and drop the belt. Make sure the nut is secured. Apart from that it's an easy job took about 1.30hrs all in.
