cambelt price

[airz182]

dunno if this is right place to post this question!
i can get a cambelt kit and aux belt for around £140 i think made by continetal,
does this seem a good price, i have had continetal belts fitted to previous cars, no issues in quality so im happy to use again,
cam kit comes in at around £120 but the aux belt around £20, does the aux belt come as a kit or just a simple belt and thats it?
cheers

You need a tensioner and lower idler. Who is fitting the kit?

 

[airz182]

a guy i know who used to work at renualt, charging me £100 to do it i just supply the bits

 

[mr.pink87]

Ask him if he got the proper tools! Post reply here...

 

[airz182]

i should hope so! i asked him if he could do it and he said its a bit of a pain in the arse job? so was guessing he done it before, hes done my previous belts on other cars

 

[Sam@NP]

make sure he has all 3 tools its very important. You not changing the dephaser pully?

 

[airz182]

no not changing the pulley, the belts have been done once before, just doin it for peace of mind, how come i should change the pulley??
incase he hasnt got the tools is there anyone else in manchester or northwest that would be willing to do it??

 

[mr.pink87]

Have a quick blast to Birmingham and visit the BTM guys! If the dephaser has no play, it is fine to leave it alone.

which isn't a lot more when you do the maths 140+120+20+100= 380.

so £50 extra for piece of mind on a car that cost you thousands isn't that bad?

it would be 140 parts +100 labour

the full aux belt kit is almost £150 on it's own. you really should be fitting this and not just the belt

 

[Jacko90]

You need a cambelt kit and Aux belt kit! If you want piece of mind, I would do the dephaser pulley and water pump too!

 

[airz182]

lol we all do it!

 

[airz182]

i get discount at euro car parts, thats why the cambelt kit was 120ish i didnt know the aux belt needed tensioners and all that! im going to reprice it tomorrow, and see if my mechanic has the poroper tools befoe i proceed or mite just bite the bullet and save a few more pennys and head down to northwestperformance
