Title: Timing belt, water pump and what else while in the shop?
Post by: sambo101 on August 09, 2017, 12:16:35 pm

So I am having the timing belt and water pump done soon enough, just wondering if there is anything else that should be replaced while the work is being done?

Cam follower was done already this year and will be getting a service at the same time.

Thanks

Double check the thermostat is working and the car gets properly up to temp..... as thats an awkward sod of a job to do
