Hi All,

I have looked but can't find any info on this so flame me if you want. My Tl magna is about to hit 200k. I changed the plugs myself last time & now have plugs , timing belt kit plus tensioner & water pump to do. Have any forum members changed the belt if so how and can anyone offer any advice? Thank you in advance.

It is in the workshop manual.
- read, comprehend.
- collect tools.
- collect parts.
- do job.

Lots of threads on what to look for and what else may need replacing.

Thanks for the info Magna Buff & Madmax, there is a bit involved but I though while I do the plugs I might as well do the rest as well .
