Yet another water pump/Timing Belt question.
Hi all,
Newbie to here. I've da 97 Teg (About 97000 km, non-vtech i think, auto with a/c), and my friend help me to change the timing belt and waterpump/radiator (leaking).
Wonder what parts do I need? I know I need to buy the timing belt and water pump and radiator, what else do I need?
1. If I buy the pump from non-dealer (non oem), do I need to buy any gasket or o-ring seal?
2. How about the a/c compressor belt, alternator and other belts? Do I need to change them if I'm going to take them off to replace TB anyway?
3. Someone in their other posts also mention belt tension pulley and idle pulley? Do I need to change these?
4. How about radiator hoses? Do I have to change with the radiator? How many and which one do I need?
Thanks in advance. Too many questions asked.

It's just a perfect opportunity, since you have to take them off in order to get the timing cover off.

Hey 93RS,
I'm just a new guy seeking for help, and the post is long and my English is bad. Don't mind to have a bit of fun, but I found at least 30 Trojan Horse from that website. That's really mean.
