Hi,
Car is going in for MOT and Annual Service in a couple weeks and looking to get the timing belt, tensioner and water pump done at same time.
Currently sitting at 67k on 07 reg, no record of it being done previously in the cars documentation/history although visual inspection of it appears fine. I'm a stickler for knowing things are done for peace of mind though and I know visual inspections don't always show problems with belts.
Can anyone tell me if this kit will do the job:
https://www.autodoc.co.uk/gates/7025857
It says compatible but I've noticed on EuroCarParts and on other sites too that there are two different impeller diameters on the water pumps, but both always say compatible - is it a big deal? If this is no good can anyone recommend the best kit to buy with a link?
Also - just to check is it a job any mechanic can do? I have a guy I use for general bits and bobs, he works for ATS but does the odd favour for me and is always very good with general stuff, but as timing belt is more difficult should I be seeking a fiat specialist or will they be able to manage it - I've read you need a special kit for timing alignment etc, would ATS have access to that?
Cheers
