BUT I just want to make sure...

Hi,

Since reference for 1.6DOHC is identical for exhaust and intake camshafts (A96182606), trust sons.

And doesn't the outside gear face of each show an "I" or a "E" ?

I forgot, maybe I am thinking of my motorcycle ?

You are right!
Altought camshafts seems identical (same ref) the camgears looks different with intake ref #96182888 and exhaust ref #96184322.
Anyway after everything is in place turn crankshaft by hand for two full turns berfore starting engine.

Sorry not to be able to help you furthermore.
