I Just had the Alfa Timing Belt & associated bits done.To help out any other Aussie / NZ Alfa owners here are the parts I bought from Alfa Workshop UK.
· Timing Belt
· Timing Tensioner
· Timing Idlers (x2)
· Aux Belt
· Aux Tensioner
· Aux Idlers (1 small & 1 large)
· Water Pump
Labour cost NZ$465.Took them 5 hours to do. I purchased all those parts from the UK on the Alfa Workshop website. Part prices work out to about half the cheapest retail price you can get in NZ and much much cheaper than from the dealers.
I forgot to pre purchase rocker cover gaskets and spark plug rings. Luckily they managed to time the cams without cam locks so they didn’t need to remove the rocker covers. They are damn expensive if they are bought locally so make sure you order these from overseas if you plan to get the belts done.
Cheers
