need help with info on cupra tdi

[b21playa]

Seen one for sale locally

2003 53 plate
81k with full SEAT history - need cambelt service doing
2 previous owners
standard spec


What are these worth?
When should the cambelt be done, i thought it was 60k?

 

[mrcoyote]

Guessing you mean a Leon?

And yes the cambelt is long overdue as they should be "inspected" at 60k, but you need to take it off to look at it so effectively it's should be replaced then.

cambelts on the pd150 engine should be inspected/changed every 40k, ive just paid 7.5k for a fully serviced tdi cupra in black with 70k on the clock its a 04 plate

So its possible this one has already had one done at 40k

The seller is asking £6k for this

i rang the garage that serviced mine and they had a record of all the servicing mine was changed at 42k, im having mine changed again next month at a independant garage in stoke £120 for the belt and tensioner, just for my own peace of mind really. if the car your looking at is standard and clean i think that is a cheap price. the local dealer in stoke has a 04 cupra in black the same as mine with 38k on the clock for £10995!!

Thats cheap @ £120, is that including parts and are they a known garage?

Its just if i decide to get this, i need to get the belt, tensioner and pump changed ASAP

6k is a good deal, is the car straight with fsh etc ?
By the way the belt should be Changed at 60k according to Seat but in my oppinion it should be left no longer than 50k. £120 for a cam belt change sounds suspiciously cheap too.

the car is straight with full SEAT history.

Im going Monday hopefully for an inspection

I was offered 5.5k for mine 3 weeks ago its 04/04 and at that time had done 111k mine has a fantastic history with almost 5.5k in bills so your 53 car with 81k for 6k sounds good

£120 is for the cam belt and tensioner if i opted for the water pump aswell that would be extra are the waterpumps driven off the cam belt on the pd engines? if so i would have that changed aswell as i had a bad time many years ago with my xr3i.

 

[b21playa]

I was quoted £250 all in from Midland VW last time I enquired

Just done a check on www.motinfo.gov.uk and all comes back ok. Just got to phone the dealer who did the services to check them and do a good inspection of it.

It has come back HPI clear - so seems clean on paper

I really wanted to sell my motor before I got one, but this seems like too good a deal to miss

 

[b21playa]

just been told its had a remap from red dot racing

 

[b21playa]

Spoke to 2 different SEAT garages, one said 60k interval other said 80k interval for cambelt change

 

[glynnd]

I would not let mine go to 80k under any circumstances.
50k tops for me

I know, personally I wouldnt either

I have spoken to the dealerships who have serviced them, the first from 10k - 50k said they would have done it at 60k, the second did the 60k and 70k service who said its due at the next service of 80k

If I get it, it will get it done straight away - have got a price back of £250 inc waterpump change from a SEAT Dealership

that's a bargain if inc VAT & labour, where is this??? as Seat Oswestry today offered me £400 to have all that done.
Really would like to use specialist but nobody near me and can't afford day off work to do it and sit in a garage waiting to be done.

Went via http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170094231206&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

I emailed him and he said the said garage will do it for £250, I asked for belt tensioner and pump change - bargain
