The timing belt was about due on the Alfa Romeo 156 and a water leak I suspected to be from the water pump forced the issue. Here I change the timing belt, balancer belt and water pump on this 1998 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 TS.

I got all of the replacement parts from the Alfa Workshop in the UK. Great pricing and service.

My first time buying a car off Facebook Marketplace, and boy what a treat it turned out to be!
I'm planning on using this Alfa Romeo as a track day car, so it needs to be up to scratch maintenance-wise.
