Which timing belt kit to get?
Hey everyone,
So I am going to be doing my timing belt very soon and I am just trying to figure out how much I should do while I'm in there. I understand I should probably change it all but I'm on a tight budget right now.
I am looking at the 4 kits on FCP euro, they have:
3 piece kit 81.99
4 piece kit 122.80
13 piece kit 229.95 (water pump etc)
OEM kit 283.45
Which one should I get? Originally I was just going to get the 3 piece but I heard changing the hydrolic tensioner was a good idea?
What do you guys suggest? If not these kits are there any other sites with better kits? Consider I am in Canada and a lot of sites wont ship to me and that FCP euro ships to me for 20$ with no duty!
Thanks

IMO you're best bet would be link #3. You're definitely better off replacing everything while you're in there and have easy access. Also, do you plan to re-use your current coolant or do you have new coolant already or will you be purchasing new coolant?
