Timing Chain replacement project
Hello All,
I recently had the top guide break on my '07 S, and decided to take on the project myself. I have all of the parts, but was hoping someone on here has the cam locking tool that I could either purchase, rent, or borrow. I'm in the Chicagoland area and would appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks,
Bryant

Some tips, from experience:
Puzzle the chain guides back together to check if you've got all the pieces out. I found back a piece of plastic behind the oil pump sprocket...
If you also want to replace the Vanos sprocket (unit), buy a PSA part (Peugeot/Citroen -if available in the US). Same part, quarter of the price!
Good luck!
