Hi. I have an '86 Mitsubishi Cordia and I am trying to change the timing
belt on my car. I'm waiting to see if someone will lend me a chain
wrench in order to remove the pulley in the crankshaft spot. In the
meantime, I thought i'd ask a few questions.

After I put both the car's timing belts properly aligned, will the car
be good to go after everything else is put back exactly the way it was?
For example, will the spark plug cables work in the same position as
they were before the belts broke or will the cables need to be
readjusted somehow? What i'm trying to ask is: is the're another step
after you install the timing belt? For some reason, I think that i'm
going to install the belts and the car is not going to work properly.
Any tips? Thanks

What makes you think that anyone in this Audi newsgroup will know
anything about Mitsubishis?

I know something!! The name "Mitsubishi" supposedly means "Three diamonds"
in Japanese, just take a look at the logo.

Wow, pretty ignorant reply. My question was about timing belts. Maybe
someone here or wherever can answer the question regardless of the car's
make and model. Why it would depend on the car's make and model for the
question I asked is beyond me. It's obvious you probably couldn't find
the oil filter in you car if they offered you a million dollars to do
so. LMAO

Another ignorant reply. Both you and the other guy are completely lost
with regards to car maintenance. A knowledgeable person would never have
replied like this and would've realized my question could be answered
universally for any make and model car.

That's a good start -- insult the people from whom you want help.

No, it cannot, complete bullshit.

Again, complete and utter nonsense.

 

Good one.
You chose to drive the poorest quality Japanese marque.
You **** on those that you expect to help you.
Many here know the answer.
Many refrain from helping ********.

Audi people must not know too much about cars. I asked this question in
the Dodge group and I got a helpful and intelligent reply. It's just a
timing belt question. No need for it to be a specific make and models to
answer a timing belt question (at least the question I asked).
