[Pdamo]

hi if you need a service document let me know

Personally I would use a Dayco, as this is usually oe, tbh there are no bad timing belt kits, so it makes little difference.
I would go for a genuine water pump as the aftermarket ones are poor quality.
SKF timing belt kit have everything genuine in them & they do a lot with the water pump in as well.
One tip whilst doing the job is DO NOT , turn the engine anti clockwise if you miss the timing marks, not even a tiny bit, as the chain can jump & you will nigh on wreck the engine. I know as I have done it!

Thanks for the advice! The Gates kit is already ordered nonetheless so I'll have to go with that one.

Thanks for the links

2 follow up questions:
- Does anyone perhaps have the number of a good accessory belt kit? No aircon and built in 2006, so the 1355mm belt if I'm not mistaken.
- Regarding the coolant, any tips on draining the old coolant (Is there a plug in the block also?) and on venting the air out after the refill?

Will dig out the coolant PDF

I ended up ordering the Gates K096PK1353 set.
Anyone who can help me with the torque specs?

Different model but same engine, torque settings if not exactly the same will be close enough.
