stilo abarth cam belt

[mikey146cars]

Is a stilo abarth cam belt an engine out job like it's 'supposed' to be on the bravo hgt.The reason i ask is this:The garage I'm dealing with here knows zilch about it and if i can get this done if i pay the screen price I'll have got an even better bargain!

from what im aware it should be yes or remove the shafts and jack the engine about so you can get at it through the wheel arch

From what I've read/heard it can be done with the engine in place - fiddly, but an improvement over the Bravo arrangement

As Hamish has said it can be done in the engine bay but very fiddly ..would also like to point out that many special tools are required for the job so if your not using a fiat dealership or fiat independent make sure it fitted correctly cos a badly fitted belt will wreak havoc with the running of the engine..its an expensive job as well so you need to look at other things like the water pump while its been done..
