timing belt, and accessory belts, new lower and upper rad hoses as well as hoses for turbo supply and return and the 90 degree hose under the tstat housing.

Might as well do the heater hoses and the 90 degree hose in the back of the head if it needs it..

Timing belt? If you want to... It's accessory driven, so it's not like you have to remove the Timing Belt to get to it...

I'd replace the heater hoses that touch it though.

true, but why the hell not? its one of those things if you dont check/replace it now it will seriously eff your motor later when you forget about it.

Why not be safe and take the timing cover off, its only.. what 4 or 5 bolts. Check it if it needs it replace it, if not keep it on there but keep a close eye on it and plan to do it sometime in the near future.

I wish we had timing chains and not belts.. id feel alot more certain about our motors pulley/belt system if i knew that my motors valves were dependanding on a chain and not a belt :love:

as far as the rear 90 degree hose, i have seen those things blow and that hose (in my book) is known as the "bhg hose" since 5/6 already have enough cooling issues so.. be safe and replace alot if not all of the water hoses. heater hoses arent necessarily a must but i would most definitely replace all the little 90 degree hoses. Check the hoses under the intake mani for the throttle body as well. Dont necessarily need to replace them but at least check to see if their rotting or not..

These motors are non-interference. If it breaks the motor stalls, you can replace it then and still not suffer any valve damage.

Do you have a link to the TSRm that shows the heater hoses? New to fixing cars.....:nuts:
