What cambelt? - Nathan1305 - 07-08-2015

Looking at cambelt kits and the choices are INA and Dayco. Is one better than the other or are they pretty much the same? Also is it worth just doing the belt or all the tensioners and water pump at the same time?

Yes do all the tensioners, belts and the waterpump at the same time.
Dayco are a decent make, can't go far wrong with them.

Make sure you get a decent waterpump as well, one with metal impellers not the plastic ones.

dayco is o.e for pugs, INA make the tensioners in Dayco kits, INA kits tend to have dayco belts in them.

Ive always used gates on mine. Admittedly my 2.1 currently has an old stock genuine item on that cost me £20. Sometimes i love ebay

Dayco be fine, check the tensioners for play but they are usually fine to go again on these engines. Be worth doing the water pump though
