touringd Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 My car will be getting above service soon , is it advisable to renew the tensioner as a precaution??. Also one dealer is telling me the spark plugs get replaced with this service and another dealer is telling me its the next??
crispyduck Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 ... is it advisable to renew the tensioner as a precaution??. Yes, I always get the tensioner done too. ... one dealer is telling me the spark plugs get replaced with this service and another dealer is telling me its the next?? Spark plugs are changed at 60K miles for your car (assume it's a UK or Euro car). --Steve.
scooby222 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 yea i just had mine done and was told that 9 times out of 10 its the tensioner that goes not the actual belt - unfortunately as the tensioners b#####y expensive but cheaper than a rebuild!
Mr Windscreen Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Don,t pay dealer price,s mate. You can buy the belt and tensioner for £230 from import car parts.
