model gf-gw8w. 1.8l. I think the engine model is FP-DE. If belt, roughly how much to replace it, and the other associated bits. TIA

Sorry. Engine is FP-4822
So after an hour of google not being my friend much at all, it looks like it is a belt.

Zoopa, it does have a timing belt and mechanical tensioner, so shouldn't be overly expensive to replace.

Even if you did pump and coolant (recommended if not done for a while) it would be around 700 at the outside. Its not a difficult or expensive.job on those.

Wait till you see what VWs cost!
Besides, if you shop around, you'll find Mazda parts are reasonably priced, I've never paid $200 for a belt or a tensioner.

That's something I have never heard before, and I think I know why.
