kern Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi All,My deck is due a cambelt change (just hit 142k) and was wondering do you need to change cambelt belt, water pump and tensioner? i sure i've read somewhere that only the cambelt needs changing but at the same time i think i've also read somewhere that the whole lot needs changing??? Can someone please shed some light on this?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Do you know if the water pump or tensioner been done before? If not then I'd do the lot for piece of mind! Otherwise it's up to you really but should either go wrong I think you know the score!Probably at least do the tensioner though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 When i had mine done at 70k at Honda they didn't do the pump or the tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Sweet, that's good to know then! As my brother was a Honda Tech for 9 years I'd just give him the job and money and eventually I'd get the car done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesyMB6 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It wasn't the cheapest having it done at Honda, i think it was about £100 more but it was piece of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
