cam belt kit

[nickwillyhams]

going to do the cam belt at some point soon but wanted to no what belts/kits do people use? and what other bits usually get replaced at the same time? cheers

[raunchz]

eurocarparts/gsf/citroen for the kits

I'd replace cambelt, idler pulley, tensioner pulley (all these three normally come in a kit) then i'd do water pump depending on if its been done before and replace the alternator belt depending on its condition

I always use 'Gates' belt kits. Comes with everything you need excluding waterpump.

I fitted a new one and it lasted about 15 -20k before siezing and chucking the timing out 2 teeth.

IMO If your disturbing it by putting a new belt on - then i'd fit a new one - £65 from Citroen but worth it for piece of mind!

[nickwillyhams]

well mileage has just hit 76k so prob do the pump as peace of mind, if thats about right!?

[raunchz]

yes get it changed if its not been done before !!!

[saxo-parts]

Gates kit everytime,it's all we use and for the price of a water pump get one. its not worth the hassle if it leaks after a few miles or worse,collapses and gooses your engine

Went to GSF and paid £20 last weekend :)

for what mate? cambelt kit and a water pump!?:wacko:

[saxo-parts]

£20??? if that was for belt and tensioner its cheap enough to make me think it'll be crap

[SaxoAL]

Just got my gates kit. Does it come with the aux drivebelt too does anyone know then? Haven't looked in the box yet!

[raunchz]

no, will need to buy the alternator belt seperately

[SaxoAL]
