2004 A2 1.6FSI cam belt

Hi All,

How hard is it to change the cam belt / water pump on a 2004 A2 1.6 FSI?

Is the crank pulley on a wood ruff key or do they float?

Thanks in advance for any help and guidance

Hi all

Anyone ever done one?

I had a quick look at the crank pulley bolt today, its not normal flat headed bolt it looks like it a spline head bolt :confused: so I may need to go and buy a socket to fit it

dont think they are not keyed to the crankshaft, so should be quite normal. if its an external spline on the bolt then you use a normal 12 point multi hex socket.

just had a look, all straightforwards, 2 pins in the cam sprockets and line the marked tooth on the crank pulley up..

Hi Zollaf,

Do I need to lock the crank to undo the bolt?

Use a flywheel locking tool?

Sent you an email, reply to my email address and I'll send you a 'How too' change the cambelt on the A2 FSi
