This fall you posted a note re replacement of the Euro timing belt. Well just a note of thanks! I took your advice, and had all three (timing belt, water pump & serpentine belt) replaced at my 60K mile service on my 5-speed 95 Euro Camper. The mechanic said (and I saw) that there was definite wear on the timing belt inner surface. He said the repair was made much easier since he had to replace the coolant anyway, and once into that narrow space, he could do it all. I saved on labor charges significantly. Now I have spares to lug around....... Wei-i 95 EVC 5-speed 93 Volvo 245 67 Volvo P1800/S |
