I'm about ready to change my timing belt. I plan on putting a new water pump in. What else should I change while i'm in there. Tensioner?
  When I had the belt changed on my Mystique, they found that a couple of idler pulleys had bad bearings.  Might want to check those.  Also, it's not very much more to change the front crankshaft seal when you're in there, and that's a fairly inexpensive part.

Moonlight Blue 1996 Mercury Mystique GS , Zetec engine, ATX.  No mods. (Well, OK, one mod.  Before I got rid of my previous car, a 1994 Tempo, I swapped radios.  I liked the Tempo's radio better.  That counts as a mod, doesn't it?  I also kept one of my Tempo's wheels to use as a spare.  I hate those stupid ?compact? spares that come with modern cars.  Does this count as a mod?  If so, I guess I have two mods.  Replaced burned/melted blower switch and connector on 19 February 2002 with a 1P3T toggle switch from Marvac and a Molex connector from Rat Shack; I guess this now makes three mods.)
