Genuine 300TDI Timing Belt Upgrade Kit - How do you tell?

(1/2) > >>

ep90:
How can you tell if the timing upgrade kit has been fitted?  (preferably without having to take it apart!)

Cheers

floyd fan:
From what Ive been told there should be a dab of yellow paint at the bottom of the cam cover.

Dr Neil:
you could try contacting your local main dealer, if you give them your chassis number/ reg. they should be able to enter it into their computer that links nationwide and tell you if and whether it has been done/needs doing.

hope this helps

from what ive heard not all were afected even though they were within chassis range, iff you cant see a paint mark or any advice from a dealer, just check the drain hole underneath the cam belt housing. iff its full of rubber debris ,filings or bits of belt teeth yourve got probs. iff its clean theres a good chance its been done or doesn,t need doing. i dont think mines had the conversion its in the c/range to be done. but doesnt wear the belt. cheers alan.....

hobbit:
What about the previous owners details off the log book, drop them a letter asking whether they had it done?
