Doing Timing belt soon, tensioners?
Hi
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

I would imagine you will find that a 1.3 golf of the similar age is exactly the same belt.
Saying that, just done a search and euro car parts dont list 1 for a golf either ! ! !

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

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..
