My belt snapped on the way home from work which was nice just come off a roundabout and lost the power steering and the alternator light came on so pulled over and has a look to see it missing going to get a new one in the morning. Still its gets me out of work for an hour.
Is it worth changing the tensioner at the same time i've checked it and it seems fine as does everything else?

Thanked 64 Times in 60 PostsIf you're removing the timing belt (which I think you need to) then yes, you might aswell do all belts at the same time. and tensioner is recomended with the belt.
