If you are getting the timing belt replaced do you also have to buy the tension kit - or is the mechanic trying to spend more of my money?
it is advisable to replace as a kit, if you just replace the belt the tensioner could fail causing just as much damage as a timing belt snapping, whilst every thing is apart i would replace the water pump as they could fail aswell causing the same damage as the other 2, i always advise my customers that just because a belt will be replaced the tensioner or water pump could also fail causing a lot more moneys worth of damage,
Listen to the mechanic he or she is not messing with you if you put that belt on wrong you will cause your car to bre out of timing and will f#$% things up big time

The timing in a Saturn is not adjustable. The ignition timing is computer controlled by the Ignition control module located underneith your coil packs. if there is an issue with engine valve timing, you must replace all timing components, ie... timing cam gears, crank gear, hydralic tentioner and guides.

Does a 2002 Camry have a timing belt or chain that needs to be replaced?
When I bought my '02 I was told that it no longer has the timing belt/chain that needs to be replaced at around 60,000 miles (my '96 did have a timing belt that needed to be replaced every 60,000 miles). I have put over 80,000 mi. on my '02 and nice to know I won't be getting surprised by timing belt failure. Did have to have the serpentine belt on the engine replaced recently though.
