How do you adjust the timing belts if You don´t have tool 1860756000?
Is there a way to do it without it?
Realized that I have to replace the timing belts...They´ve been replaced, but that was five years ago and the belts were bought 2009
I will try to do it, without removing the Engine...as it´s said to be possible (and the first owner in Sweden told me they had modified the car in some way to make it possible!

It's possible to do the change of belts with the engine in the car. You will need an Allen key which you shorten a bit to gain access to the bolts of the cover of the rear belt. Removing the covers is the difficult job. Perhaps they have drilled a hole to give acces to the most difficult bolt. You will see. I always put tension on thr belts by using feeling and experience. I always check tension after some turns of the engine. Good luck!

I'll always used 1/4 of a turn on the belt as a measurement on an ok tension for belts. But I might ask someone with more experience this time.
