R50 VG33 belt cover torque specs and fastener guide

[zbeck]

I did the timing belt recently. I have boat loads of VG parts, so to avoid confusion, I made these guides to help with a belt change. You can print them out and have them right with you outside if you need them. To make the torques less confusing, I narrowed the values to one type of unit. Sorry, to our international friends. Everything here is based off of 1997 FSM information.

Those diagrams are awesome!

They're gonna come in mighty handy when I change my

timing belt in the coming weeks.

Thanks

Does anybody have these pictures saved anywhere?

 

I changed both of my belts and had to have done something wrong because now for a mintue or so they make a loud squeek when I start up the car.

It don't mean you did something wrong cause they squeak for a minute. Maybe your belts are not tight enough, or a pulley is loose.

Links for pictures are fixed. For future reference, it is ok to help a brother out and send a message when there is a problem.

Not sure what I did wrong, but I fixed it. I took the belt back off and checked out the pulley and put it back on, no squeaks!

Considering the OP was last active almost 5 years ago, I'd say it is probably a no go on that one. Sorry...
