Timing belt and water pump replacement
this mk1 S special
had a nasty banging/slapping noise when running and we found out why.
see the videos below.
here we noticed the belt was very loose and not even touching the idler pulley
further investigation found the belt was 1 tooth out and rising on the cam sprockets, how it had not slipped more teeth i will never know.
this is how it should run. doing a test run after fitting the new belt
and a few pics of the installation
