RE: Couple of 16v questions

["Shannon Fenton" <sfenton@amazon.com>]

My break pedal has been doing that for a couple of years. Its probably the
master cylinder. Cam chain is easy....just be very careful loosening and
tightening the bearing caps. I have seen cams snap when someone was just
loosened each cap all the way while the others were still torqued down. But
I cant see the chain being able to make any noise. It couldnt stretch to the
point of making any noise. If it did it would jump right off the sprockets
first. You know the drill....


Thank you for your time.

Subject: Couple of 16v questions


Guys & gals,

I'm working on this "new" 16v and have come up with a
couple of questions.

First - the brakes.  You can hit the brake pedal and it'll
be fine, but then slowly start for the floor...   I'm
guessing the master cylinder is hosed, right?

Second - I've got an odd noise at around 3500 RPM on up.
It sounds like it's coming from the head in the vicinity of
the cam chain, likely being the cam chain itself.  How
difficult a job is it to replace?  It looks fairly straight
forward in the Bentley.

Thanks for any and all suggestions / answers.
