1.9dt cam belt

Post by old codger »

anyone got an idea of how much the labour charge is to change the belt,idler & adjuster?

Tis a bit cold to do it myself.

its a 3.5 hour job in most timing belt/workshop guides, so around 120 to 150 plus the dreaded vat.

Just checked the invoice for the change on mine; the belt is £54.00 (ex VAT), total, as mikey s predicted, was £154 all in. A lot cheaper than the Jap ones I'm more used to!
