Picked my car up this morning after having a service,camshaft phasers, and trophy coils fitted, great work by Scott who was really helpful and kept me informed all week.

Can't recommend him enough, car is running better than ever now !

I guess yours was the silver mk2 with black wheels that was there yesturday? looked good.

my friends said silver was a best colour for a mk2, but i think he must be colour blind!!!

did you see my mk2 illaid blue there? its having a service and all fluids and oil changes and A/c service.

 

[mick_993]

Yes saw yours this morning, also looked good....Scott did say though that silver ones are faster!

Scott did say though that silver ones are faster!

Last week he said that about Mk1s as well :salut:

Why did you have the dephasers done? Was the engine making a tapping noise before by anychance????

 

[mick_993]

Yes it was making a tapping noise, usually on a warm start up...all good now though !

 

[scrabble]

Thats what mine is then! How much to do the dephasers?

 

[mick_993]

The phasers are £100 each, 2 off...i'm not sure on the labour because i had the other work done as well !

 

[scrabble]

I always thought it was the hydraulic tappets but I know now its not them.

Oh right. Might do it myself then. Stupid question but do you access them from the cambelt end?

No get to them from top of engine,They are at the belt end sitting between the cam covers on each head I post a pic later if I get the vee out.

I did :bow: I was dropping our C5 off to have its belts done!

PS, What are Dephasers?

 

[captain]

Not 100% but sure they change the valve timing to meet emissions limits

That would be very handy. Thank you. I am quite mechanically minded and do most jobs on the Vee so it would be good to tackle this as well

Thanks again
