I did mine for the first time on Saturday. It was way overdue. Last done at 117k miles, and car is at 202k miles now :eek4:

Go figure I would find something messed up. Who ever did it last had snapped one of the water pump bolts off. It never leaked, and neither does the new one, but still

Thanks Lee, I'm sure there are plenty of other things that I'll need to do to my car I'm sure we would've gotten it done a lot faster, but I just wanted to get it done.

Access to PPG garage/tools > *

I swear this thing is getting better gas mileage...I ran the piss out of it yesterday in 25% city/75% highway and today for 240 miles and I'm getting about 26-27MPG, which I usually only get on 100% highway driving when it's cold out and they put ethanol in the gas.

I can do those in 2.5-3 hrs Did u put a new tensoner on it?? With that tensioner it should be replaced every time u do a timing belt. When its your first time, it can be a big pain in the ass. :thumbup:
