General 1.2 8V Cam belt

Does it matter about the position of the auxilary shaft, whit respect to the crank and cam ?

I am going to do a cam belt change next weekend.

Thanks

no you only need crank n cam lined up.
and put the alternator belt pulley on in the right place, it has tiny hole that a tiny pin goes in

nothing needed but when you take it off you will see a little hole between 2 of the bolt holes, that hole lines up with a little pin on the crank pully, its so the tdc sensor reads the right bit of the pulley when it needs to. a few people miss it as the pin is so small

Thanks very much for that Dave, well appreciated.

If you got any queries then I wrote a little guide thing here:

It's for a 1.1, but the 1.1 and 1.2 8v are pretty much exactly the same, the 1.2 is a bit taller. Your cambelt cover will be different, but alot easier to get on and off! The design of the cover will differ but the mounting points and bolt holes will be the same.

You'll also have ten times more space than in a cento! So you may find you can refit the lower cambelt cover in from the top therefore not having to take the alternator pulley off first. You may also not need to take the arch liner off, but I would just to see it all better.
