Technical 500 timing belt headache

[Nitemanager]

Well, that's me pretty much out of ideas. Wish I could actually take a look see. Manchester is just a bit far to go though. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread though - good luck.

Yeah. Appreciate the help anyway mate. Cheers!

What fault code is there? Might not be the timing belt directly, and some other sensor left undone

Not got a code cos the reader wouldn’t play ball. But it runs again now (an unplugged cam sensor!) but still seems to be a tooth out.

Hi mate.
Got this sorted in the end. It was somehow a tooth out Running sweet as a nut now with a new serpentine belt, new thermostat housing, fresh oil and filter and up for sale if anyone wants it! Cheers

Have to say I thought so all along - It just smelt of it! and how often do we see this on the forum.

Absolutely chuffed to pieces (or other appropriate shorter words) that you've got it sorted and it hasn't cost you a pile of dosh! Well done you.
