gona get cam belt done on the car shal i just let the garage hoy any one on or should i but the kit myself first.any reply would be great ta

 

I always use Gates kits on my cars and never had any issues.

 

Aye, tell them to use a decent one like Gates. Or get one yrself.

Sometimes worth replacing idler/tension pulleys, and ask them to check the water pump.

 

Contitech have always been my first choice before Gates or SKF

 

sheers lads.yeah im gonna get all the above changed mate ta

 

As well as getting a decent make of camblet kit I would also get a new water pump fitted at the same time. The labour to fit it when you’re replacing a full cambelt kit is virtually zero...just the cost of the part...

Maybe I’m a little **** with my car service and maintenance but on such a car is it worth risking a WP failure to save £80??? personally regardless of the car, on every cambelt change a new water pump gets fitted...but that’s just me.

Cheers

just been on revolutions site £279 for a cambelt service with genuine parts sounds pretty good to me

 

my way of thinking too,you would feel pretty daft if your water pump fails and causes extensive damage because you wanted to save a few quid when doing the cambelt

mine has a roger clark uprated waterpump done at the same time as the cambelt

buy cheap..................buy twice
