Whilst exploring and looking for info on here about the top cam belt cover bolts etc, I came across a "how to" on the other place which went some way to help clear up the bolts problem.
I noticed right at the end of the thread and can i ask, the adjusting cam belt idler, the adjusting idler square hole, when the idler is fitted correctly, and adjusted to the cam belt, the square hole is at the bottom?? meaning turn the idler anticlockwise to adjust tighter, and clockwise to unadjust/slacken off??
Panic over, looking in my notes ( which have all come from here, with a little bit from the actual car, still a 306 tyro i am ) I have come across the autodata sheets on cam belt 306 which came from here, as it has the forum "letterhead".
The adjusting square is below the pivot bolt, so anticlockwise the tighten the belt.
Oddly the picture of the belt layout etc. does not show the 3 bolt drive camshaft sprocket to cam drive hub??
Anyways it time to bight the bullet and finally replace the cam belt etc. before it breaks belting down the m4 in three weeks time.
hurrah, service box works today so have the exploded view showing all the cover bolts etc .
