Timing belt kit
I am looking to replace timing belt and water pump on 2002 RL but wondering which set to buy.I've seen Contitech for around $200 but dont know if it is any good.
OEM runs for $400 but I have seen set on ebay for $300 with including other belts. Also what parts should be in kit like tensioners,seals etc. and what else is recommended to replace like other belts etc. |

OEM runs for $400 but I have seen set on ebay for $300 with including other belts. Also what parts should be in kit like tensioners,seals etc. and what else is recommended to replace like other belts etc. I bought a ContiTech PP279-280LK1 Pro Series Plus Kit. It contains the tensioners, the balancer belt and the timing belt, the water pump and water pump seal and two seals for the cam shafts. It does NOT contain the power-steering, air-conditioning and alternator belts, while you have the thing apart its a good idea to replace them. It does not contain the small cam-belt tensioner spring, but unless yours is broken you can re-use the old one. I put it on my car and I have done 13,000 miles with the kit in with no problems at all. My car had 164,000 miles on it when I did the belt swap. I liked it so much I reviewed it for Amazon - |
I just put in a Gates kit. They make quality belts and the included idler/pulleys are all OE Koyo parts. I bought the water pump separately. A seller on eBay has a couple OE Aisin pumps for only 75$. Altogether I spent considerably less then 200$ for all original parts and the gates belts I would argue are better then OE.
