Default Timing Belt Kits 30V V6 99.0??
Just put in a new serpentine belt tensioner since the last one exploded, but planning on new timing belt etc in next month or so and wondering if anyone knew the best place for a timing belt kit for the 30V V6, including water pump. Looked at blauparts but not sure if it is too expensive or what?
Thanks.

do not get ECS kits, their water pumps are known to leak after only a few k miles

Default I just used the blau kit. More expensive, but worth the tool rental....
and OEM quality. Plus their customer support is top notch. Got a bad damper they re rented me the tools and new part for free.

I used Purems for my 1.8 - no problems at all.

Purems has my vote. I would recommend replacing the front main seal while you are in there.

Default I used blau on my 12v. The tool rental was nice, I wouldn't have
attempted it without the tools. It's only been about 15K since installed but I've had no problems.

Not to mention cam seals, cam adjuster seals, and cam plugs.
