[s-cars] Re: Timing Belt Question

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Steve,

Hmm. Yes, I remember writing that a few years back (I was doing the TB on
the 200 and thinking about the Urq).   I can't say definitively (my '91
200q20v has the 3B motor).  However, I have copied-in the S-Car list -- I'm
sure someone here may be able to help further.  Otherwise, a good source for
the tinkerers among us is motorgeek.com.

Best,

Ingo
