Hi All,


I am going to be doing my 100K Cam belt change, and I will be changing all idler's and tensioners as well. It had a service (full service) at 95K. A couple questions, shall I service again or wait another 5K before re-servicing? Dayco or Gates Belts, which would be better for the 100K change? should the Water Pump be changed as well?


This is for a Hawk N/A 2.0i R Sport.


Thanks all.
Bran

what was the reason for the 95k service?

bparkes007

Was part of an MOT and Service as it only had a part service on 90K and I wanted a full service.

Tidgy

part service? 90k is just an oil and filter + check over iirc

bparkes007

ah, well that was what was done, but I thought the spark plugs needed changing as well, so they and other filters were done on the MOT. so I shouldn't need another service then im guessing.

Tidgy

how long ago was it done? as in time

bparkes007

End of Jan this year

Tidgy

in that case just sounds like just do the cambelt/tensioner etc

bparkes007

okay thanks, do you know any differences between dayco and gates for cam belts?

Tidgy

either should be ok

bparkes007

okay, well thanks for your help
