ElantraClub - For Elantra Owners and Enthusiasts _ The Kia Zone _ Alpha timing belt change

Posted by: bhorste Jan 17 2013, 12:17 PM

The wife's ride is due for a timing belt change. While I'm a veteran of changing one on a Beta engine, I've never done an Alpha. It looks a bit more daunting due to a couple things:

1) the A/C plumbing runs across that side of the block (and right where you need to access).

2) It actually has a pulley for each camshaft.

Since some of y'all have Accents or similar I'm wondering if I'm going to be cursing myself for even thinking of attempting this myself. I'm also figuring I'll tackle the water pump, since it's at 120k+.
