Don't try to save a few bucks on a cheaper version of such a crucial part. It's not a hard job, but if it means you don't have to screw with it again, but the OEM one!

AISIN is what you want (plus seven new bolts). DW Volvo was $76 for kit including bolts & gasket. Best price from FCP with the VS discount & free shipping. FCP also sells on ebay - check out their price that way - might be even cheaper. Search ebay on 'volvo timing belt'.

Hepu makes a good waterpump. Plenty of people have used them without problems. Do a search and try to find somebody that had one fail prematurely on them. I put one on my car, along with all my other timing parts being oem.

HEPU isnt' a cheap knockoff pump they are solid, just my $0.02. I used one and it's all metal.
Also don't buy ANYTHING from FCP on ebay. They list "OEM" parts on their t-belt kits but when they arrive they send you the scantech tensioner. I know they are still doing this because I bought it last October that way and just sent an email thru ebay asking about their parts in their t-belt kits 2-3 weeks ago and got the same response. I wish they would be more forthcoming about exactly the name brand of parts that come in their kits.
Stick with the dealer or the guy at DW IMO.

i was gonna say they are cheap, under a 100 bucks, if you bought the belt, idlers and tensioner whats another hundred bucks rec do a t-stat w/ pump.
P.S. I hate the beatles.

I usually always prefer the OEM parts over aftermarket, but Hepu pumps are well made. I don't think you will go wrong with either.
