Default Timing Belt Parts to replace list

I'm getting different info from different vendors and want to be sure I replace everything that I should while I'm doing it and only do it once.

Here's what I've got so far. Let me know if I'm missing anything.

Timing Belt
Timing Belt Tensioner Roller
Timing Belt Dampener
Timing Belt Idler Pully
Timing Belt Lever
Metal Water Pump w/ Metal Gasket
Thermostat w/ O-Ring
Serpentine Belt
Power Steering Pump V-Belt
A/C Belt
Alternator Belt
Accessory Belt Tensioner
Accessory Belt Roller


Let me know if I've forgotten anything that I should do or a part missing from the list.

Thanks

And personally, I'd throw in a new coolant expansion tank. $30 and looks GREAT

Default Personally I'd do the cam seal, front crank seal and even the VC and cam tensioner gaskets.

If you're not comfortable doing the cam/crank seals then leave them alone as they are a little delicate and *should* be done with the right tools.

But if they are leaking at all then DO THEM and they are cheap.

I would also 2nd the coolant, and the tank for that matter.

Flush your PS system, do an oil change, check your motor mounts while things are opened up.

You may want to get some new o-rings for the coolant hoses too. Check the radiator well, any signs of pink on the end tanks or anything - replace it.

I could go on and on really - but most of this stuff is a few $$ each for the seals/o-rings and is a good idea to do.

More preventative maint. would be an oil line for the turbo, o-ring for the oil cooler (or a whole new one) and a coolant temp sensor for the ECU.

Default Damn! I'll have to look into all that. I'm buying the parts and having a shop do it for me...

1. I don't have anywhere to do the work (park on the street )
2. Don't know a lot about all of this, still learning
3. Some of that stuff I don't even know what it is

If you want post some links that would be sweet. I don't expect it though, I appreciate just getting the list of what to consider doing.

Thanks

Default I've actually done that one recently, unless you're referring to a larger tank to circulate more

coolant.

Default List fixed..

Your list includes parts that are duplicates, or don't exist on this motor.


Timing Belt
Timing Belt Tensioner Roller
Timing Belt Damper
Timing Belt Idler Pully
Metal Water Pump w/ Metal Gasket
Thermostat w/ O-Ring
Serpentine Belt
A/C Belt
All above included with our full timing belt kits


Optionals
Accessory Belt Tensioner
A/C Belt tensioner
Cam seal
Crank Seal
VC and Cam tensioner seal
Snub mount

Hope that helps.
The actual parts you'll need will depend on your VIN. There is a split in 2001.
