9n3 timing belt broken

[NLanham]

That sold it for me, odo at 101kms so time to replace timing belt/water pump and clutch. Can someone suggest a sticky that advises kit costs, cheers

I used a Gates kit from Sparesbox. I think the workshop manuals are a sticky on the top of this page. The job is quite straight, most of my anxiety came from jacking the engine up and down getting to the bolts and the jack moving on the sump - so I had two jacks and separate pieces of wood between so I can ensure the wood didn't move against he sump and engine 'drop' (still bolted by gearbox mount and dog bone mount so it's technically not going anywhere).
