I'm preparing to change the belts and hoses on the 308, it's an 84 QV. I have a receipt that shows it was done by the previous owner about 10K miles ago, but it wasn't at a dealer and the receipt say's the parts were customer supplied. The car is doing fine, but for piece of mind I want to change them, besides I have an oil leak around a cam seal on the pully side. Along with this I plan to replace all the hoses, pull the radiator and have it flushed, replace the clutch, and replace the fuel pump. Obviously the last two items can be done after the belt change (don't want to take too much apart at once).
Step 1 is purchasing all the parts. Some suppliers quote belt & bearing, while others quote tensioner assembly. What are the risks for only replacing the pulley on the existing tensioner? Also, the cam will have to come out due to the leaky seal. Should I change all cam seals at the same time (even the ones that aren't giving me problems, if not is it required to change the seal on the nonleaking side of the cam I have to pull?
Thanks for any info. I'll be asking other stupid questions as the project progresses. If anyone's interested I include some photos.
