If like me, you forgot to change the timing belt at the last service and it went “ping” while driving to the shops, you may wish to invest in new engine, or at the very least a few new valves, rockers and possibly the cylinder head… If you are sensible and know that it needs changing, then this little guide is for you. Applies to the 1.4 and 1.6 CVH or PTE engine, but can be applied generally to other models too. Pictures and references to Haynes are made in square brackets where appropriate!
