[s-cars] RE: timing belt on ebay Questions

[Paul Heneghan]

Thanks Sean,

They don't seem to do the rental kit over here (UK).  I have the 2084
locking tool from my old I5 (non 20V) cars in the past - somebody
assured me that it was possible to use it with an S6.  If the crank
isn't leaking, I'll probably just leave it.

Do the serpentine belt tensioners have a record of failing?  I presumed
that because it would not damage the engine if it seized, that I would
get away without replacing it.

Paul
