Hey all,

As title says, where is the best place to buy OEM timing belt/pulleys/etc and water pump? I'm thinking of doing IPD, but it's going to be like $300 before shipping and tax. Is there anywhere cheaper, but yet I can still be assured that it's going to be OEM? FCP makes me nervous about things like this.....

Car in question is a 96 855R.

We sell ONLY factory stuff, not one part on our shelf is aftermarket.

T-belt kit which includes tensioner and idler pulley goes for $145.62

Water pump sells for $119.50 and includes gasket.

There is also a damping element that sometimes needs to be changed when you do this job, it sells for $80.60.

You get a full factory warranty that is good at any dealer across the nation for a year. If you mention you saw us on MVS we will ship it at no charge. Feel free to email any questions you have.

What was your mileage when it happened? Were you after or before second belt change ?

Continental (Conti) timing belts are OEM.

For water pump...i heard all the best for Hepu(aftermarket) water pumps.

Here's the link for Continental belts:
