[Biturbos4] Timing Belt

[Wilson Northrup]

You're car is getting up in years, though low milage.  You may 
wish to consider replacing  some of the coolant hoses. in addition to just 
the timing belt.   I just did my timing belt for the second time and 
replaced all the hoses so i don't have to think about it.   A few were 
getting toward the end of their life.  Perhaps you can request an 
inspection of these items while the work is done.

Other common things to do on cars of this age are the afterrun pump and 
the valve cover gaskets.
