Timing Belt / Cambelt Kits Part Numbers

[welshpug 1,657]

after being advised by many peeps to go O.E on a Cambelt kit I decided to investigate the prices from Peugeot and Citroen.

 

I got some interesting results

 

the prices I got were for the revised tensioner and 137 toothed belt and idler pulley (thats what they sell as a kit) they came under the part number of 0831 72

Peugeot wanted £70 and a few pence plus vat, Citroen wanted £103 for the same kit Crazy

I did check if the timing belt ( 0816 E2 ), tensioner ( 0829 84 ), and idler pulley ( 0830 37 )

would be cheaper as individual parts at Citroen but it came to £130

 

a water pump from both was £50 plus vat. Roll eyes (forgot to do the same at peugeot)

 

and to end it all, its the same kit as the 135 bhp XSi, XU10J4R Big grin

 

edit! cant edit the title???! should have added GTi6 / XSi / XU10J4 / XU10J4RS

thats ridiculous realy, and they come in the same box with the same partnumber.........

 

i use gates kits and there really good. a fair few manufacturers have them as o/e

I've briefly looked into aftermarket and they cost the same pretty much!

 

so unless anyone can source a Dayco kit (o.e I'm told) i'll be down my dealer with my PSOOC discount
