    Timing belt change on 2009 Galant

    Hello Everyone,

    I will be changing timing belt on my 2009 Galant soon, when it reaches 105,000 miles (around in 2-4 months), currently at 98,000.

    I went to dealer and he said that I don't need to change everything, just belt and water pump will do. And depending on parts he use it will cost anything between 700-1000 USD. I was thinking he will be using oem parts till he said depending on quality of parts. So I visited a local garage who will do it for labor, I might ask him to order parts as well and pay a little extra for liability.

    I had look at gates timing belt kit with water pump (TCKWP340) but due to bad reviews of water pump on it I decided to get parts separately.

    This is the list of parts I am thinking of buying.

    Gates TCK340
    2 x timing belts
    1 x idler
    2 x tensioner

    AISIN BTM001
    1 x cam. tensioner hyd. assy

    GMB 1481780
    1 x water pump
    1 x gasket

    Seal kit
    1 x cam seals
    1 x crankshaft seals

    IKH20TT
    4 x spark plugs

    1 x thermostat OEM

    1 x timing cover gasket/seal

    only if needed, since it is making some noise
    1 x gates serpentine belt + pulley + tensioner

    Let me know your opinion on brands, parts I should be changing, parts I don't need to change etc

    Also, If anyone from Rochester NY area, can suggest me a good shop to do these.

    Use oem parts only when doing timing belt job. Don't fuck with aftermarket especially the belt.
