C70 1999 timing belt kit

Hi all. Will this fit mine? I assume the belt is always the same, but the tensioners differ.

If it does this seems cheap as chips, with waterpump aswell.

In most cases your 16 year old water pump will have more life left in it than the new ones you're looking at. If you really want a cheap water pump I can give you some, I have on les where the impellers have snapped, sit stationary or have damaged the block. If you're more picky I should have one that just needs bearings.

A cheap water pump is a waste of money.

In all honesty i only want to take the belt off and heck alignment and my cam seals. But as its coming off it would be silly not to replace. And same for the water pump. Id rather not change it. Im going to have a look at the belt first ti see if it needs a change. Probably wont use waterpump as i have no cooling issues.
