I did the distribution job yesterday and now I'm glad.

The sprockets and so the chain had to be replaced, I allready had 1 camshaft sprocket with a piece of a teeth gone!

The guide rails anyhow where in quite a good shape! I changed the tensioner at 140k km's (+-86k miles) and now the engine has 160k km's (+- 100miles)

some pics:





This is the new stuff



Does anyone know if this is the single or the dual mass flywheel?


(the left one off course :D)

That looks like a single-mass one to me.  The dual mass one is thick all throughout.

I AGREE  the left one is a single mass.  The dual mass has a "movable " section in the middle easy to tell by rocking the flywheel by hand when on the engine.  there is flex/movement between outer ring section and crank bolt section.
