Luckyshot Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 If it is the water pump they are cheap and very easy to do. Should have it all done within a couple of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brash1 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 If your doing the water pump would strongly advise doing the p gasket aswell, as they are prone to weeping and going unoticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixer1 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) You can buy the tensioner unit BUT you can actaully order the bearing a bit cheaper if need be from eBay or any bearing supplier....i remember someone saying it was a couple of quid for the bearing delivered. Remember to lock the fuel pump with a pin of some description when doing the timing belt! EDIT - here you go - http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=290583473880 Regards, Gixer Edited September 17, 2011 by gixer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
