Hi Guys. I am doing my cambelt next week and whilst its off would like to upgrade where possible. I will already be removing a/c pump and power steering. Is there anything i can upgrade whilst the job is done for example lighter pulleys or bottom pulley? Advice please...

Bottom pulley is worth it imo. Even if its just for piece of mind.

    Does anyone know how much they are before i ask them both? And is there anything else i can do? Lighter top pulleys? Is it unadvisable to leave the cam cover off for example if i got coloured top pulleys?

    I personally wouldn't leave the cambelt cover off. No

    As for the bottom pulley, I think they are around £100. Yes

    You will need some new coolant to go with the water pump don't forget...

    Also, might be worth putting a new aux belt on seeing as you have to remove it to do the job anyway. Yes

    i will be doing away with the power steering and the a/c so no need for an aux belt (even though it came in the kit) the only thing that will need tension is the alternator so i will need to measure it and get a smaller belt from somewhere from what i understand.

    6PK700 belt and use your old cambelt tensioner on the bracket to tension the belt.

    cheers will do. Does there need to be a bit of fluid left in the rack e.g. when i take the ram out put a piece of pipe in its place?

    Thats a generic belt number.

    6 rib 700mm long. Go into any motor factors and tell them that and they will search for it. I forget which car it was actually listed for. Was about 7 quid for a gates one.

    nope, though you do need to bung the holes in the pinion housing where the pipes go on but leave tiny breather holes.

    Yeah, I thought the ram also did the same job. I believe my pas pump is failing. So like coskev asked, why are you removing pas?
