I have a 2003 Swift Kpntiki 610 Motorhome on Fiat Ducato 15 base(2.8jtd). I am paranoid re timing belt kits on these vehicles and am looking to so a change over - can anyone recommend from experience a particular brand which they found to be reliable .Also again from experience what is a reasonable time to allow - 3 to 4 hours labor?

I've always used gates with all my vehicles never an issue yet touch wood, gates kit minus tensioner spring is K015334XS with tensioner spring K025334XS. Took me about 2 hours on my own including changing the crank seal. With an assistant should be easily doable in 1- 1.5hrs.

One think to be careful of is the alignment of the spacer 1 in the pic is easy to have it fall out of place before tightening:

Thanks for reply. Does that kit include pulley?

Sorry my post should say part 14 in the diagram not part 1.

Both tensioner and idler pulleys are included.
