Hi all,
Can anybody point me to a list of tools needed to change my cam belt please, i have the belt kit and special tools needed for the belt, but i can't remember what allen keys torx bits and spanners i will need, i have a small set with hex and torx but i will need to buy stuff to match my 3/8 drive ratchet tomorrow for the pulley etc, please advise.
I'm also changing the water pump as well, plastic or metal?

Regards Gary

Many thanks for taking the time to post towcestervag, i got a BGA CP3550 with bga code R012A in metal, so fingers crossed that it lasts longer than the plastic 1 i put in last year.
Also i'm dropping a video in that was very usefull to me that people may also find helpfull, the setting for the belt tesion gap is 4mm.

Get some 12 point sockets too, very useful if the belt was last changed by an idiot that ruined the lock carrier bolts
