Hi. Just about ready to RWC my 206cc. Currently has 160,000 on the clock.
I don't have any service history unfortunately, and was wondering about the timing belt and when it should be replaced?
Thanks.
 
Do it soon. You can't afford a belt failure with this engine.

What is the advice on the water pump? Should I get a kit that has the lot, just the belt and idlers, or just the belt?
And oh, probably not totally new to Euro vehicles. I also own a Fiat, Renault, and VW vans for my business.
 
As you are new to the make, this lot in Melbourne can supply the kit and anything else needed, if you don't have a supplier already
compare pricing with spareto.com - online parts seller in Estonia that even using a DHL service that will have stuff on your doorstep in a week is very well priced. Obviously theyre better the more you buy as you combine postage, so stock up on filters etc.
 
Wherever you buy it, get a water pump too. Kits don't necessarily include it.

There are two good parts suppliers in Estonia used by AF members, both in Tallinn. Spareto.com and Alvadi.ee. Both understand English, and send to Australia promptly by air.
