Hi all.Now the car has clocked up 71000 miles im looking at changing the cambelt as im not sure of previous history and if this has been done in past.Im drawing up a list of could/should bits to replace and any more info would be welcome,Currently the plan is replace following..Power steering belt,Alternator belt.Cambelt,water pump...Underdrive pulleys for lighter ones?.Anything else i should be looking at?

Hi, Mike right?

 

Funnily enough I am in the middle of doing mine. Just some advise I would hand on and that's that you'll need a 6mm allen key socket, and a 27mm socket for the crankshaft pulley bolt.

 

Do you have an automatic or a manual? If you have an automatic then you will need to take the starter motor out and wedge the flywheel in order to undo the crankshaft pulley bolt.

 

Before you embark on it I would familiarise yourself with the steps as there are lots of bolts you might not think about loosening. I used

but some of the pulleys were not so clear.

 

The timing belt I bought from conceptZ but if i were you i would go somewhere else for the accessory belts, i bought Gates belts.

power steering K040365

Compressor K040378

Alternator K040398

Though this might be different depending on what spec you car is and if you have aftermarket pulley sizes.

 

Be me a message if you need anything else.

Cheers,no its Darren,we met at a meet at lakeside late last year,grey auto twin turbo.Im getting someone else to do work for me as i dont have the space or time to do this myself.Can these belts be bought off ebay? or direct?.Im guessing the belts would be a differenty size if using aftermarket pulleys

Damn memory :angry:

 

I wouldn't get the timing belt off ebay, but for everything else you could have a go, but here are some amazon links.

If the pulleys are different sizes that you are replacing (for extra performance or whatever) then you will probably need different size belts, but I cant tell you which ones.

It was $30 shipping and tax ontop of the price so overall it was $69 ~£49 so make your mind up if you want to buy one off eBay.

Ebay....unknown origin. be very careful.

Why don't you just give mike at mjp a call for all service parts, at least then you know that they will genuine and not crappy copies.
