Hey new to the forum but owned a few puntos, recently upgraded to a 1.4 sporting starjet and been curious, while investigating the condition of the timing belt I've noticed its got a different style cam pulley to the traditional 1.4 8v I had, been searching around and not found out much other than its been narrowed down to either a VCT or VVT system in it, I'm really curious as to what its fitted with and how it helps, I know the basics of a vvt system so thats all fine but if its not fitted with that and its fitted with VCT I'm curious as to what it does on this engine. Thanks for any help its much appreciated cheers ??

Welcome :wave:

I also have a GP 1.4 with the StarJet engine (not a Sporting model, mind you), and I'm no expert but I believe it does use a VVT system. You might find this writeup interesting http://www.italiaspeed.com/2006/cars/other/technology/04/starjet/2004.html
