Been posted and probably asked many times before but...

IS the VVT system the same as it is in the 172/182's? I owned a 172 a few year ago. Did the timing belt and dephaser myself as i'm a qualified tech. But new to these ones. Just wondering whether they're the same? And how much of a pain in the arse are they to do?
Cheers.

vvt on 197/200 is continuously variable...

belt change similar except theres more room!!!

If theres more room then they should be easier then. haha. That was the problem with the older ones! The belt is being done before i get the car as i'm buying it from dealer. So in theory there shouldn't be an issue. If its done correct.
