New cam belt, smoother car.
Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2012 2:11 pm
Just had a new cam belt fitted, couldn't do it myself back playing up at moment, £91 for belt, tensioners, water pump and aux belt and £150 to fit it, 2.8 hours, pleased with that but £49 VAT , rip off.
Anyway, car feels smoother than before, is quieter and pick up out of corners is better. I assume that the old belt had stretched a little causing timing to be slightly out.
Mileage is 57K but car is 12 years old and although has a lot of service history I can't find any evidence of cambelt being changed so had the lot done as insurance.
