New timing belt, timing problem...
So after searching forum, I installed new timing belt on my 04 v70 2.5t without a hitch.
I havn't started the car yet since I'm doing some other work to the vehicle. I was just told that when I changed the TB, I was suppose to lock the cams as they are vvt. WELL, I didn't lock the came unfortunately because I didn't read about it in the research I did. I know for a fact that both cam gears moved a bit independently while making some attempts at putting the new TB on. Now I'm not sure what to do. All marks still line up as prior to arrival. Is there a way to reset the cams? Does anyone suspect a problem? -Rob |
I would suggest that you turn the crankshaft clockwise a couple of complete revolutions by hand, then an additional 90 degrees past the point where the 3 timing marks line up, then turn it back counter-clockwise 90 degrees, and make sure all 3 marks still line up. My understanding is when you turn it back 90 degrees it unloads the vvt cams.
EDIT - Reading this over, I realize it would not help - bw77 |
Do this with the belt on?
I'm wondering if VVT only goes if you loosen the actual cam gear from the camshaft. |
Yes, with the belt on. Here is some good info on the vvt cam

Only doing a belt you do not need to lock the cams. As long as the timing marks are lined up you are fine.
