Default Timing belt change question

Hi All,

Its getting close to the time for me to change the timing belt on the 95 850 Turbo again. I last changed it about 8 years and 70,000 miles ago, so it is definitely due. When I changed it last time, I put on a new belt, a new tensioner, and new pulley/rollers plus a water pump. I also changed the serpentine belt, Serpentine belt tensioner, and all pulleys /rollers for the serpentine belt system.

This time around do you think I should change everything again, or just the timing belt, tensioner, and rollers. In other words if it was you, what would you do

Many thanks,

Glenn

I would have all parts on deck and change what is worn or in need of changing. My rule is to change the belt and both rollers. I only do the water pump if it's leaking (or every other change) and the tensioner if it's leaking.
