just wondering what you get in a timing belt kit as Repco told me it's $270 for the kit for my 91 efi vitara.
if it's just a belt, idler and 2 seals i'll buy it speratley for about $120.
to buy it seperatley they were unsure of which belt it is as there's 2 on there listing, anyone know which one it is for my car like how many teeth it has.
cheers.

what numbers are listed according to them? gates say there is only a T212 for 16 valve, I know there are a few for sierras but not on a vit AFAIK
pull your cover off and just read the number off would be the best bet, easier than trusting repco to know what you have

 $270!!!!
Tell them to go stick that! Try Supercrap or some other supplier. My Sierra one was heaps cheaper than that!! The kits have a belt, tensioner bearing and 2 seals.

The DAYCO kit for my 1.6 EFI was $98 Pt No KTBA125 From REPCO
I reccommend also if it has 2-3 thousand k's on it do the water pump as well as you have to remove the belts to replace the pump better doing it once.

Everything else was alright with mine, so I changed just the belt during routine servicing. Can't remember what I paid, but was around the $20 mark. There are 2 differant types of belt. One with square teeth and one with round teeth. Mine a 92 WT with a 1298cc engine and it took the round teeth belt, but the best thing to do is to remove the old belt first and take it with you to use as a sample.
