Timing Belt

[Popo]

Hey guys juz wan to know where can i get the timing belt for fto gpx in melbourne??

[Supplanter]

Go to a place like Supercheap Auto or Repco and order a Gates T987 belt. You might need to shop around for the price a bit.

Yeah I found cbc bearings or bsc bearing to be the cheapest. They have a kit too.

[Popo]

cool, thanks!!
i went to a mechanic at camberfield couple days ago and that dude said the labour charge for replacing the timing belt would be approximately $400.. is that reasonable cost??

[I8A4RE]

Yes it is resonable, not great not bad.

[Bennoz]

I think thats a damned good price. He's obviously never done an FTO before lol.

[I8A4RE]

No I dont think he has lol

Oh boy, I am about 88 888kms away from the next 100k servicing.

Should start saving up again.

hey guys, need your help here... i found a website http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... b0s9p37116
and i got a fto gpx 2.0 v6 mivec, juz wan to know is that whole set of thing is what i looking for?

[yotka]

yes, that is the whole set.

Is your engine leaking oil though?

Double half moon seals are usually the part that was worn out and need replacement. Also from camskill.

[Popo]

thankx yotka, yeah my engine leaks oil heavily... need to fix it as soon as possible but the delivery takes time.. i was thinking to get it from local shops like repco or supercheap auto but that would be too expensive..

[yotka]

The whole purchase from Camskill and delivery to you takes under 2 weeks, so if you order now, you might get it by wednesday.

Do you have Malz in your state? The timing belt alone is about $120 - $140, if you buy from them, which is the cheapest I know.

Thing is, if you get your stuff from Camskill, you will probably not have issues with wrong parts.


edit: next wednesday.

I was quoted $360.00 from a Mitsubishi dealership??

I've guides to replacing the timing belt on a Mitsubishi and the process is very similar to what I did on the FTO. I guess it's a done one DOHC V6 Mitsubishi you have done them all.

Its called 'coming to terms with doing a sh*t of a job, in a sh*t of a little space.' Once you get over that little mental hurdle, you're on easy street

Totally agreed! Even the timing case was a bitch from memory!
