1) what was the state of the waterpump and it's mileage?
it looked fine like new in side no play in it either
2) looks a little fiddly getting bottom belt cover off?
top 3 bolts come out from the top, jack engine up a little, bottom 2 bolts come out working under the car, lower engine a little
3) what was state of aux belt tensioner & pulleys? Mileage?
belt seems a little hard! rest seems ok
4) I see you used a Dayco cam belt kit. Were the aux belt tensioner and pulleys from Fiat or an aftermarket OEM kit?
aux belt is gates, the main tensioner is oem, i didnt know we had idliers too didnt see them on s4p so they are gates fron local factors
5) How long did the job take?
i spent all afternoon, but did others stuff in-between, if you take off drinking 2 ltrs off coffee, lunch, doing the washing, painting some wood for shed, coming on here to see if people had answered my question in general tech section, putting dinner on ready for when mrs dave gets home from work and trying to find tools. i reckon about 2 hours.
car is on 89,000 miles it came with service stamps in the book but no lists of what's been done. top belt cover has been off before as one bottom bolt hole was split, but they may have just looked at it. not sure if the photos show it but cam belt idler has a very rough surface to it, that cant have been doing the belt much good
