I’m about to tackle my 2nd timing belt job, and this time its on my wife’s 03 Eclipse GS. The car is at the 60k mile mark, i’ve ordered a new timing belt and balance shaft belt, new water pump (figured i might as well change it as well), all new rad hoses and accessory belts. Now i’m not sure if i should replace the tensioner pulleys and auto tensioners (spring loaded part that actually holds the tension against the pulley). What are everyone’s suggestions?
i always swap tensioners… the pulley shouldn’t be a big deal, but if it’s under 10 bucks, might as well…
