Am looking for a cambelt kit for a Picasso 1.8. My engine code is on both of them, but I can't work out if they both contain the same parts for a cambelt change (am getting a water pump as well).

There's quite a price different, which intrigued me.

    Cheap one doesn't mention the tensioner, but I'd buy from the dealer or a decent factors, never off ebay.

    Have messaged the cheaper one's seller to ask what is included.

    I'd expect a dealer to charge about £100 for this kit - online retailers seem to come in at about £85 ... so the £65 one seems about right for ebay. The cheaper one just seems too cheap!
  • goes by vehicle year and engine number if you have a car on or just after changer month can be a nightmare. if your car is a 8v they are pretty easy to do following a haynes manual. lock top pully with a bolt and bottom pully with the same or a pin kit with both at TDC, undo tensioner replace belt put back together.
