Do I absolutely need to buy a new tensioner timing belt? or should I just get the plain belt from the dealership? Also, if i get it from the dealership is it the whole kit or just the belt? Thanks g's <IMG src=smileys/smiley8.gif border="0"> </P>

why buy it from the dealership? Get it from ECS tuning, they offer a complete kit. And yes, you should replace it all.You're only as strong as yourweekestlink.

 

yes grasshopper

 

</P>


you meant yes master j/k</P>

 

Yeah the dealer will bend you over and rape you....they dont use vasaline either<IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0"></P>


Also the dealer should have the upgraded tensioner the reason they upgraded it is because the old style self destructs takin your head with it</P>

Thanks for the visual <IMG height=18 src=smileys/smiley22.gif width=17 border="0"></P>

 

the belt is not what fails anyway. Its the tensioner that fails, lets the belt slip or shreds it. Change the tensioner.
