FTO AUSTRALIA

Hey FTO fanatics, my FTO is nearing the 200 000km mark and is in need of its major service. :S
Was just wondering where I can buy the timing belt kit (with all necessary parts) for the service. My Dad owns a mechanical workshop, so the labour won't cost anything.. I just need to find the actual kit itself for a decent price. Btw, It's a Mivec.
Cheers, Jake.

That's the belt and bearings. There might be cheaper overseas but if you don't want to wait then that one is in melbourne

Deadset legend! Dad quoted me close to $700 cost price to him for all the timing belt parts, genuine from Mitsubishi.. I was thinking to myself surely they are cheaper elsewhere. Thanks a heap mate.

No worries mate. Yeah Mitsubishi is a rip off don't get stuff like that through them.

Is everyone using these kits and are they good or are there better alternatives?

You need to get price excluding VAT from them.


Edit: I think most of us either use the kits, or just change the belts alone. However, the pulleys are pretty important. Before fitting the new ones in, my mechanic let me rolled the old and new ones.... big difference between them, and my car only had 140k Km on at that time.

As long as they're genuine Koyo bearings and NOK seals, then they are exactly what you will get from Mitsubishi for a 1/4 the price. Mitsubishi will supply you with Koyo bearings and NOK seals, that's what they use and what's currently on your engine.

As for the Sun belt, don't know, but I'm pretty sure Gates & Dayco(?) also do kits.
