belts and pulleys 2.0 HDI
Hello All,
I am after a good supplier for a timing belt and aux belt. Am I right to assume that replacing all the tensioners and pulleys would be wise?
The expense is quite frightening but might be worth it. Also, is it worth replacing the coolant pump whilst in the throws of replacing the timing belt?
The cost is multiplying!
Cheers
Lawrence

Try your local motor factor and use Gates belts. Gates do a cambelt kit with all pulleys included.
Unless there is noise coming from the ancillary (serpentine) belt pulleys don't bother replacing them.
You can do a visual check on the serpentine belt tensioner that provides a good indication of it's condition. With the engine running look at the tensioner and see if it's oscillating up and down more than say 5mm. Any more than this is a sign the spring is getting tired , if it's really jumping around , replace it.
