Sounds like a good Jack Junkies project. :)
Hey guys, I'm looking to do the major service on my NB myself. I'm referring to the timing belt, water pump etc job. I've not done this before so if someone could help guide me while I do it I would really appreciate it. I'm in Coppell and am looking to do this on a weekend in the near future.
Thanks in advance, my number is 214.803.9579

im looking to do the same service and may need the same assistance...it would be worth the money to rent a spot ^^^ and buy food and drinks/beer for those kind enough to help![]()
It is easy. If there are 2-3 that want to do it at Jack Junkies at the same time I'll see if I can come point at what to do.
The big thing is to get ALL of the parts you need upfront.
a comprehensive list from a wise knowledgeable truth sharer wouldn't be turned away![]()
Rosenthal Mazda has everything you need for a decent price. Get the TB/WP kit along with the kits for belts and hoses. Might as well do it all while you've got it torn down.
