JonW Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 This has probably been covered before but I couldn't find it using search!!! What should I be expecting to pay for a cam belt change. Is it better to source the part myself and then just pay someone to fit it? Cheers Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 It will cost you around £180 to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 You've obviously never fitted one then, Hodgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 What other parts are recommended to be fitted at the same time, is it the other belt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Some folks change the water pump while the crank pulley is off. No need to change the aux belt as it's only a five minute job anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredm Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Personally I would replace the Tensioner Pulley also, it may sound ok when you spin it but for what they cost (about £30) it would seem to make sense. Make sure your tensioner is working correctly with no leaks also. If I was going to keep the car for 3 or 4 years and there was around a 100k on the engine I would change the water pump aswell, it's a lot easier when theres less stuff in the way. Again, if your keeping the car while you have the coolant drained stick a new thermostat in there too. There only £25. The total could be somewhere around £300 now.

If you're using the SST for locking/removing the crank pulley it wouldn't take any longer, would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
