Cambelt and Waterpump

[wenman]

I know this has been covered before but how much havepeople paid for the two to be changed?
I have just been quoted £466.12 by my local Seat dealers where I got the car from, seems a bit steep to me

try VW garage, got my old leon done at a VW garage. lot cheaper.

 

[Aimez]

£400 from an independent with a basic service as well obviously

make sure wherever you go they fill it in your service book

Which engine does your Ibiza have? if it is the 1.9Diesel or something similar, then we do the cambelt service (including water pump and tensioner roller) at £295+VAT supplied and fitted.

Worth while doing, my old water pump was leaking a bit and i didnt even know, also it was a crummy plastic impellor (sp) one too! now replaced with the metal one.

All about who you know

thats a good price.
so when are you moving down to east sussex for buisness expansion?

 

[wenman]

Am I being naive in thinking that the cambelt service should include a standard service of the car?

 

[NickyJam]

no...the cambelt service usually consists of a kit: cambelt, timing belt and water pump. On its own will cost roughly £300 as every garage quotes a minimum of 3 hours labour for this service.

a normal service will cover filters, oil and other basics

 

[wenman]

Ah ok then thank you

 

[NickyJam]

Ah ok then thank you

i would suggest a local garage rather than dealer as the kits are pretty cheap, what will cost you is labour.

there are places out there doing this service for under £250 keep looking

 

[DEMONKNIGHT666]

On offer at Seat Pride park Derby.
£290 all in including WaterPump.
