Trunks850R Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 front main seal and water pump, but the pullys and the serpentine belt tensioner i wouldnt do right now if youdont have to, since its not a big deal to do those later down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Will Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Maybe the water pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeInJapan Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I would do all of those extra bits if this is the 2nd TB change. If not, then I'd leave them alone and get out cheap...start saving your $$ for the next one because it'll be more expensive because I'd change all of those then. Failure rate between first and 2nd TB on those other parts are very very minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunks850R Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 acually ive heard of cases where the water pump wasnt changed outand it started to seize up and cause the belt to break,and the front main seal is kinda right there(more so in other cars than ours, but its easier to do it right then while its all apart) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHEIII874T5M Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 The car has 130K miles, this is the 2nd Tbelt change. The water pump I hadn't even considered, I'll definitely look further into it.Thanks for the tips so far, guys. Appreciate it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilhuly Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Definitely do the water pump. The downside to doing it it a relatively cheap part cost and the downside to not doing it is a new boat anchor in the form of your old engine.The car has 130K miles, this is the 2nd Tbelt change.

BlackT5 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I would just leave the front crank seal unless it's leaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM850R Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Easy if you have some tools. I might be up at Jeremy's place looking for some help if the time comes during the school year. I wouldnt have a problem except compressing the tensioner. I just dont have an assortment of tools handy at home or school. It was 500 for parts and labor at my indie last time we had it done on my old car. Tensioner, t-belt, serp belt, water pump/gasket, and a couple pullies make it seem expensive. Itll be fun when, where and however I do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikv11 Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I wouldnt have a problem except compressing the tensioner. I just dont have an assortment of tools handy at home or school. If you are replacing the tensioner then it will come compressed and you don't need to compress it. Unless you don't line up the marks properly before you pull the pin .fcp prices27 t-belt125 genuine volvo t-belt tensioner, hydraulic48 t-belt tensioner roller48 idler arm roller49 water pump Hepu297 totalyou can save a few bucks with eEuroparts.com, or you can ask fcp for the eBaY special (240 for everything but the water pump), but you get the idea, it is a $300 job to get new everything.
