Good afternoon Klaus,

Okay. I am trying to follow your advice to keep it simple and to follow the written instructions from my brickboard soource.

His engine is a B4194T so there are differences between his engine and my B5254T.

Step 53 tells me to cut off the timing belt and to leave pulling it off till later.
Step 54 tells me to undo and remove the camshaft sprockets, marking which is the intake and which is the exhaust.

Step 55: undo the cover for the camshaft position sensor--two T30 torx bolts
Step 56: Under the cover is the rotor itself whose rotations the sensor detects. It is held on by a single 10mm bolt. Undo it and remove.

Step 57. Undo and remove the 34 ten mm bolts that hold the cam cover on. Work in a diagonal sequence from the outside towards the centre.

Should I actually do steps 55 and 56? Or should I just cut off the belt [I do have a replacement] and jump to step 57

Bob

p.s. don't hesitate to tell me to take off if I am becoming a nuisance.
