Timing belt change is due, the vehicle is at 58000+ kms.
I wish to know what else is required, gaskets etc when changing the timing belt.
I wish to use genuine parts, and since I have to travel 5hrs to the either Chevrolet Pampanga or Dagupan, I would like to be sure that all the parts and accessories are available when I arrive at these outlets.
Is this a task that most workshops can undertake, or is this a job that should be left to Chevrolet dealership.

I also have an engine management light coming on sometimes, it stays on for 10kms or so, then goes out. I've noted other posters, stating a warning ID, I don't have any ID symbols. Since there are no noted noises, temperature is normal, and the vehicle is operating as normal. I just ignore it as I understand that these cars are loaded with sencors.

Replace the timing belt and kit. Also change your fan belt an dtensioner. Timing belt should be left to pros. Have it scanned for codes as well.
