Timing belt queries

Used engine oil has acids,dirt,grime,etc of all sorts.
So,it is harmful in the long run (carcinogen).

Not only is used engine oil very harmful... washing your hands after the act isn't good enuf!

You shoud'nt even be touching it! Use gloves if you have to...

My Santro is nearing 75k km mark and need to change the timing belt. I have been told that Gates is the Hyundai vendor for timing belts. Gates timing belt is available in the market for ~rs.400.

Can you please tell me if Gates is actually the Hyundai vendor for timing belts. Otherwise, how are Gates timing belts, are they as good as OE one's.

I want to try and get the belt replaced outside of HASS. The dealers in Patiala area (where the car is) are pretty incompetent.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how many belts and how many pumps are there in a car?
I have seen these items in my old car(800)-
1. Timing belt(on the right hand side, visible from the top/below)

2. Alternator belt(on the left hand side)-Responsible for charging the battery and also involved in the operation of the power steering.

3. Water pump belt/pulley-Responsible for the operation of the water pump.

4. Fan belt-responsible for the operation of the radiator fan.

Are there any other belts? Where is the cam belt? I have never seen it.

Thanks,
Ashok.
