LCR Timing Belt

[Cooper_81]

Timing belt is needing replaced at a cost of £300 supplied and fitted with waterpump etc however is it worth buying the parts from seremotors and gettin a garage just to charge for the labour??? what have you guys done when it comes to getting belt replaced?

Cheers Davie

Whatever you do, don't shortcut

Drove home tonight on the motorway and came across a dead Vauxhall Zafira on the hard shoulder with snapped timing belt in the 3rd lane!

I'd try the garage route for just charging labour. Thats what I did. I bought my bits from sere motors and my sister in law's brother changed it for me. You just end up spending a fortune otherwise

 

[Cooper_81]

How much did it cost you all in? Even with mates rates?

 

[Cupra R 84]

If my memory serves me correctly about £190 all in

My belt is due this autumn, wanted a genuine waterpump but theres a surcharge on them from tps, as they get recycled so might be getting a gates kit from a factors....

depends on the cost to me though as i work for a seat/skoda specialist
