cameroon95 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 So thats literally all there is to changing the belt, just the belt itself? I remember changing the tensioner etc on my old glanza, perhaps that was OTT?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 You need a cam belt kit really as per your original question rather than just the belt. Have a look on the bay, there's some about 30 quid. Best to check the engine code to make sure you get the right one. And yes it's advisable to replace the water pump at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
