Where can I find information regarding changing the cam/timing belt on my 2005 90ps V W Touran, are there any special tools required.
Any advice appreciated.

Firstly, suggest you post this in the technical section of Back Room rather than in the discussion section.

Secondly, with respect, you do not sound like as if you are a competent diy mechanic so strongly suggest that you leave it to professionals because this is not a simple job (a decent local garage should be able to oblige). They should also advise what else needs to be changed such as pulleys, tensioners, other belts, water pump etc. For info, depending on exactly what needs to be done I think you're looking at least £200 for parts & labour but don't hold me to that.
