Doing Timing belt soon, tensioners?
I'm gonna do the cam belt on the Jetta asap, with the help from a mate who's a mechanic luckily.
Just went to order the part from euro car parts and they dont do a kit, just the belt. Gsf are the same… Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Sam

Tension is adjustable via water pump, worth changing at the same time.
Ah right, is it not worth changing the tensioners?

By the looks of it its Euro car parts website having a twitch up. I just did a couple of searches and the website reckons they dont stock a timing belt kit for a 1980 golf gti

it rotates round the 3 slots
you should pick up a belt for under 10 quid, so 20 all in or there abouts.
this is all you need and some coolant etc..
