Engine: D5244: Cam belt change

[280E]

Don't forget to change the title sub-heading

This is also a job I need to do soonish - but not until it gets a bit warmer!

Just picked up my a "Gates" timing belt kit.
£90+vat. It actually came with a water pump as well so I thought that was a bonus.
Does mean that this job is turning into a lot to do now!
Water pump
Timing belt
All 4 camshaft seals(thought I might as well)
All new PCV system
Full service I think
Check out the fuel tank sender.
Vida send to think there is a problem with it yet the gauge works??...lol

Finally done the timing belt, water pump, crankcase ventilation, all new injector seals and a new coil pack.
Runs well now except when you want it to crawl on tickover. It kind of kangaroos until you give it a bit more gas. It's not quite right so if anyone knows what the might be please let me know.
Now,...........
I removed the cam position sensor and okay. Then removed the black plug for the exhaust cam and oil leaked out. So I put a new deal on the shipping list. Now. I was amazed to find there was no seal!! It has only ever been serviced by the main dealer, so did the forget to put the seal in. Picture attached.
I've now installed one.
