Local stealership quoted me $1,300 for the belt and NO water pump. Said they don't go bad in 90K miles. Since I've been going to the same stealership for cars and service for quite some time, my service adviser said he'd do the above mentioned work for ~$900.

I passed and went independent. For the same ~$900, I had the following work done: timing belt, water pump, thermostat, outer belt and gaskets. I did an oil change, oil / air filters, cleaned MAF and spark plugs on top of all that. The seals, idlers and tensioners were good to go as is. I also updated my nav DVD to the latest version. Overall, not a cheap week for me! That said, I should be solid for many years to come.

Drive on!

By the way, my old timing belt looked to be in fine shape at 94K mi and 10 years old. Just wanted to throw a little gas on the fire on when to change the timing belt.

I just had my 90k service done last week. There is actually a kit that i bought that come with a new timing belt, all the tensioners, gaskets, and i think it also came with the water pump. After everything was done my mechanic charged me around $850 and the dealership quoted me at over $1800 for everything.

go to rock auto or you can find some on eBay. MAKE SURE it's the OEM KIT on ebay and not some off brand parts.

i just got my car back from doing the TB/WP service... at 11yrs/90.5k miles, my belt also looked in stellar condition... i will post pics of the condition of my parts... should we have a thread that posts pics of our timing belts at certain mileage intervals? onder:

i also used a rockauto kit AISIAN kit, but mine was with the tensioner...

When I did my timing belt service last year I replaced:
1) Belt
2) water pump
3) idlers (I would replace them for sure) it's a bearing and eventually it will make noise.
4) tensioner (old one was still good but I found original one for only $40 so why not???)
5) Thermostat
6) PCV
7) Coolant obviously

BTW, these were all original parts.

Where in CA are you located? I'm in Bay Area.. I could do all this for you for $650 the most. Let me know.

^ What this guy said. Its best to do it all at the same time.

This particular kit DOES NOT come with tensioner. You must be thinking about idler for tensioner. There are 2 idlers total in this kit. One that's paired w/ tensioner and the other one on the other side.

correct, the one linked above TKT001 does not come with a tensioner, but i ordered the kit WITH the tensioner... TKT021

krispl

Oh Cool...I honestly didn't know that there was one with tensioner. Where did you get that one from and for how much ?

Rock auto has it for 190 before shipping. I had a 5% discount code which basically made it free ship. Then I ordered oil seal, coolant, t-stat and the serp tensioner from Sewell for another 120. parts were under 350... Can't complain.
