FTO AUSTRALIA

Hey guys juz wan to know where can i get the timing belt for fto gpx in melbourne??

Go to a place like Supercheap Auto or Repco and order a Gates T987 belt. You might need to shop around for the price a bit.

Yeah I found cbc bearings or bsc bearing to be the cheapest. They have a kit too.

cool, thanks!!
i went to a mechanic at camberfield couple days ago and that dude said the labour charge for replacing the timing belt would be approximately $400.. is that reasonable cost??

Yes it is resonable, not great not bad.

I think thats a damned good price. He's obviously never done an FTO before lol.

No I dont think he has lol

Oh boy, I am about 88 888kms away from the next 100k servicing.

Should start saving up again.

hey guys, need your help here... i found a website http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... b0s9p37116
and i got a fto gpx 2.0 v6 mivec, juz wan to know is that whole set of thing is what i looking for?

yes, that is the whole set.

Is your engine leaking oil though?

Double half moon seals are usually the part that was worn out and need replacement. Also from camskill.

thankx yotka, yeah my engine leaks oil heavily... need to fix it as soon as possible but the delivery takes time.. i was thinking to get it from local shops like repco or supercheap auto but that would be too expensive..

The whole purchase from Camskill and delivery to you takes under 2 weeks, so if you order now, you might get it by wednesday.

Do you have Malz in your state? The timing belt alone is about $120 - $140, if you buy from them, which is the cheapest I know.

Thing is, if you get your stuff from Camskill, you will probably not have issues with wrong parts.


edit: next wednesday.

I've guides to replacing the timing belt on a Mitsubishi and the process is very similar to what I did on the FTO. I guess it's a done one DOHC V6 Mitsubishi you have done them all.

Its called 'coming to terms with doing a sh*t of a job, in a sh*t of a little space.' Once you get over that little mental hurdle, you're on easy street

Totally agreed! Even the timing case was a bitch from memory!
