Here some pictures of the visible issues I have to treat.

Thanks Sommerfeldt ! To learn is always interesting.
i have another question. About the windows central command, what should I use to clean it, that doesn't run the risk to ruin it ? Sopay water with smooth brush ?
I've just finished to read this post about a tensioner that I've forgotten on my list of parts to replace. My idea is why to replace everything on the timing belt without this tensioner ? Of course it has a price, but, to compare to rebuilt an engine ?
As I am here, I must say that I find the website pages on MVS absolutly well done. The posts are clearly presented, we can read them easily. Nice work of pages built.
