Rear cambelt cover bolt

[Flynn]

I have noticed my rear cambelt cover shaking like mad at certain revs so I have decided to get the replacement bolt for it. Below is a picture of the bolt:



Sorry for the terrible picture.

Now, service box implies that this bolt goes into the side:



Although my cambelt cover doesn't seem to have a hole for it in the side and I remember from Darren's cambelt change guide he said that a bolt goes into the back. There is only one other type shown on servicebox which doesn't look anything like my cambelt cover so I am sure it's the right one.

So the question is, where does the second bolt on the rear cambelt cover go!?

Argos desk Ftw. I have the same one.

I dont this thread, are you trying to ask something? Or tell us you swapped a bolt?

[Flynn]

Argos desk Ftw. I have the same one.

Haha yeah JJ9963! Yes it was from Argos! I didn't realise they were so distinctive!
There must be more than one desk with holes in it, maybe not then!


Oh and Connor, yes did I forget to put the question in!? Oh silly me! Yes the question is, where does the bolt go! I have done that a few times, put all of the information in the thread and then forgot to put the actual question in! I'll update the original post, thanks!

[Connor]

The bolt goes in the back of the engine, like in that pic you posted

[Flynn]

The diagram shows it going to the side though!

[Connor]

No it doesn't, if you can't interpret the picture correctly, then im afraid i cannot help you

[stevieg]

its a bugger of a place, its down the back on the engine side of the cover. the dashed line shows the side of the cover that you can't see looking at it at the angle shown in the picture. you will need a 10mm 1/4" socket and ratchet

[Flynn]

Thank you StevieG, I was blind but now I see.

[stevieg]

thanks. could be an 8mm socket too looking at that pic

If you've bought a new bolt and it's the wrong one then PM me your adress and i'll send one when i can. I have loads of those rear bolts kicking about.

[stevieg]

factory extras FTW!!

[Flynn]

It was the wrong sodding one. Far too short.

That's the bolt for the side of the cambelt cover, the actual one is way longer, yeah.
