What I did today thread...
I see this forum doesn't have a "what I did today" thread which is a happy dumping ground of those wishing to tell all what they achieved recently....so let me start one off.
It was a perfect sunny day here, very unusual of late, so I replaced all discs, pads and shoes on all corners, fit new power steering reservoir, engine oil and filter change, remove O/S wing liner and take the alarm module out, hacksaw it open for some preventative maintenance by replacing the batteries, (still to find some suitable batteries online), replace the main bearing in the wiper motor and refit, tighten handbrake cable, charge the battery as I'm getting low battery indicator on the information module and give the car a wash. P.S. Forgot to mention... while the wing liner was off, the amount of mud and grit I found stuck up behind the heaflight was pretty appaling. This is future trouble for rust I reckon. I hosed all the dirt out and then slabbered Waxoyl everywhere for rustproofing.

I had a long lazy sleep in until 11am (well it is Sunday), got up, helped the wife with some house work, visited my son and his mrs, cut his grass and gave him some advice re-the gardening, came home, did some gardening of my own, now chilling out with a beer.

Absolutely sweet **** all! Managed to skin my knuckles trying to remove the rear anti roll bar bushes while in leaving the bar in situ..........don't mention the rear drop links that had to be destroyed just to get the bl**dy things off.......

Hello ShadeTek, Please tell me if I got this right. When prepping for a cam belt change you rotate the engine's crank pulley clockwise 1/4 turn past the point when the marks align. Then you turn it backwards (anti-clockwise) to where the marks align. My question to you is: What went wrong? I was under the impression this procedure set the VVT solenoid to a mechanical zero. Thanks for answering. Kira

I used this same technique on the V70 VVT. I lined the cams up with the timing mark, scored the crank pully with a screwdriver, in line with the inner wing so I could re-aligne it in case it moved, I couldn't see the crank mark as I left the aux pully on and squeezed the belt up round the back of it around the three alloy lugs, kept the belt tight up the front to the intake cam only to find the cam had moved!...EEEK. This is when my anxiety started. The intake cam is very easy to move anti-clock-wise as it is on a dog-lock mechanism, like the pedals of a bike if you know what I mean? I re-aligned the cam by turning it clockwise again and it lined up. The exhaust cam also moved fairly easy and I had to re-aligne it too. I would recommend tie-wrapping the cams together at their nearest point to stop them moving. In answer to your question, do you turn it clockwise then anti-clockwise, I would say no. There is no mention of this in the Haynes manual either. The way the belt came off the intake cam was locked into the clockwise postion so it hit a stop position and could go no further without meeting some resistance. So you would have to re-do your set up if you did it that way. I may be wrong and there is a further adjustment I don't know about, but it worked so far for me although my V70 has not been taken for a good drive yet as it is not road legal. It does get up to temperature on the drive with no dash errors or bent valves. Let me know how you get on Kira.
