Default Timing belt kit installed!
<center><img src="http://www.hostdub.com/albums/morio/cars_042.jpg"></center><p>Today was the install day for my timing belt kit (timing belt, waterpump, tensioner, roller, serpentine belt). Some buddies and I spent roughly 4.5 hours on this install. Everything is pretty straight forward and there are plenty of write ups when you use the search function. My TT had 64,030 as I pulled it into the shop..and I am shocked it lasted this long after seeing how the tensioner roller was holding up...bearings were noisy and the roller had movement side to side.... the waterpump (plastic) was also missing a nice size chuck out of it.. ARGH!!! So do not, I repeat do not hold off past 60K on this! I was lucky the tensioner didn't go and snap my belt...

I feel much better now

4.5 hours is a decent time for that process... Nice job! Took me (+3 others) about 6-7.
