Hi folks
Does anyone know the difference between water pumps for Euro 2 (CF2) and Euro 3 (CF3) 1.8 engines? I see different pumps are specified.
I have a later CF3 engine (actually in a Punto HGT) and am attempting a cambelt change. The new belt feels too tight to me (I have to move the tensioner right round, off its baseplate peg to get it on), even though it is the same spec as the one that came off (166 teeth which should be correct according to the VIN). I have changed the water pump too but (stupidly) have just used a part that came with the car and I wonder if I have put one on with an incorrect pulley size.... Because it's now on it is difficult to measure!
A related question is why the CF2 cars had 168-tooth cambelts - is it because of a pulley issue like this? Or a change to the cylinder head or something?
Thanks!
Nick
