Going to do a precautionary belt change on my new 944. I plan to do both belts do I need to replace the cam and balancer tensioners too? |

water pump was replaced a while ago so hopefully doesnt need doing this time. I think I may as well have both tensioners replaced |

Are you doing them yourself? The tensioners can be pricey, so I'd check them first (spin freely, little play etc) |

I'm getting a pal to do the work...in terms of changing the tensioners is it the parts or labour that is pricey? |

The parts, the tensioners are around 40 quid each (Have a look at Berlyn) the seals are around 5 & the top hats are 10-12 all from memory.Mine needed the lot! So a 250 job became 500! |

ok, I've sourced both tensioners from GSF, £27 and £24 plus VAT...thought it worth changing them whilst there. I can get the both belts and tensioners for under £100 inc VAT. |
