C20XE timing belt kit & water pump change

[ABoresta]

Hi all I'm going to do a cam belt change including idler, tensioner etc and water pump on my C20XE but I just saw the price at Euro Car Parts and All Parts apart from AutoVaux does anyone know anywhere else to get them? or have trade account I could use :d haha

Cheers

Not really anywhere to suggest but ask for brands and specs and get decent ones i.e. metal propellers on water pump, SKF belt kit etc. I like Autovaux for stuff like that.

I think it's worth considering changing the bolts that hold the pulleys/tensioner in place, they are known for shearing if faulty or work loose. Available from Vauxhall still.

I only use Gates belts. Gm use them in factories and they are the better make or belt. (SKF use gates belts in there kits)

Watch ECP as they will try and sell your some indian shite first.

Hmm yeah I was thinking just shell out and call autovaux but I might be getting trade cards for Ecp and all parts so may get a quote first when I get that if I can get decent spec stuff

cheers guys

No matter who you are, they will quote you on cheap makes first. Plus their trade accounts arnt worth a wank.

Just go to autovaux. It's not expensive.

As above I get trade but went to auto vaux due to the fact it's actually quality stuff
