RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I always use the "kit" when I replace belts on customer cars. I always recommend replacing the waterpump on cars were the pump is driven by the timing belt and have higher mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undr_psi Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Im in need of the same on my TSI, do it all and forget it.. Mitsu. part # s MD182295 Balance Shaft Belt MD326059 Timing Belt MD129355 Timing Belt Idler Pulley* MD156604 Timing Belt Tensioner Pulley MD115976 Balance Belt Tensioner MD164533 Timing Belt Tensioner MD972052 Water Pump MB568898A/C Belt (4PK 940 - i.e., roughly 940mm long, I believe, can use 37.0" belt, maybe 36.5) MD178430 Power Steering Belt (660) MD186126 Alternator/Water Pump Belt (4PK 990, Old # MD137594, can use 38.5" belt) MD121986 MD156770 MD0066651G lower timing belt cover gaskets (the ones on the cover often dry out and break off) MD376608 Crank Pulley A good idea if your car has high mileage * Add a M10x22 bolt MF241281 and a lockwasher if you have a '90, as the newer idler pulley has a different center, requiring a much shorter bolt id also stick with OEM Mitsu parts and far as the belts and tensioner.

Guest Removed Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I always use the "kit" when I replace belts on customer cars. I always recommend replacing the waterpump on cars were the pump is driven by the timing belt and have higher mileage. cam and crank seals aswell.always use the kit myself.plus we can remove the balance shaft with the motor still in the car(we've done it a few times).

Smokey Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 definately do the factory timing belt, I've done aftermarket tensioners before with good sucess, but if in doubt, get those from Mitsu as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90_EAGLE_TALON Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 NEVER do just the belt in these cars. one little problem in the timing system or even the installation and you are replacing or completly rebuilding the engine. Its not worth trying to save the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
