Changing timing belt on Transporter

[David Morris]

I forgot to say I fitted a new diesel filter while I had the headlights out as its the only way you can get the filter out also fitted HID lights while I was there .
Leaving the bullbar on was a bonus as I could tie the radiator & its gear to the bar after I seperated the the aircon condensor & radiator & de bugged the junk that gathers in between the two .
Got new disc rotors for the front but they have the wrong off set so have to chase up the correct ones later still have some metal left till tis throw away time pads are new .
Only thing left to do is have A/C regassed as its down on pressure & move the wheel from front to back 10 k on them now & wearing well .
Got to make a bug screen for the bull bar to many critters finding their way into the radiator leaving toxic guts behind to corode things .
Road test was good auto smooooooth again turbo blowing 12 pound boost at WFT full load Scann Gague says life is good just got to reset some speedo data with the GPS when I have nothing beter to do I need a break .

Read that link I think I would do it my way again if ever it lives with me that long .
The Bull bar was no problem as I straped the radiators to it giving me even more room to work in .
I did the cam belt first got it spot on then set up on tdc #1 again & did the injector pump belt droped the spring tensioner off slipped the belt on replaced the tensioner & lined up the marks reseting top & bottom Idelers till it was spot on the marks no worries .
Looks like my EX ambulance has lots of diferent custon bits there are 25 coded optional PR numbers on its paperwork some I have sussed out others I would not have a clue what they stand for .
Extra heaters & evaporators on the air con for the person in the back a monster alternator with power everything ABS cruze smaller mag wheels to keep the height down to 2.225 mtrs so it just fits under my roller door & out of the weather bilstine HD shocks & coils reset the front torsion bars down when all the ambo fraight came out & leveled it up again tare weight mostly 1088 KG on the local dump bridge with 75 Ltrs of diesel on board & 2 bodys .

I think you have the 0 in the wrong place, more like 1880kg.
