Yeah, that's pretty amazing. There's a Ferrari/Porsche mechanic in town who I took my car to for a 4-wheel alignment, and on his wall hangs a plaque for winning a contest for the fastest timing belt change on a 944. I don't remembr the time, but it's unfathomable - something like 38 minutes or thereabouts. I'll have to come up with an excuse to pay him a visit to check, because I remember having to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw it.
Wow that's amazing!
But, I'll bet Max can do it in 37 minutes with a smoke break in the middle.
Anybody get close to a 15 second belt change yet?
i had one come off in less than that amount of time, due to not changing it at 3 years (even though it only had 20k on it) - does that count?
Eh, the thought still makes me cringe!
I don't think so...
I'm sure putting the belt back on was a little more involved and therefor to much longer.
Was that your favourite brand that pooched in 3 years - Gates?
nope - contitech - never again
but 3 years is the terminal date, regardless of brand
