How important is an aux belt change on a 1.2 16v engine. If it snaps, will it be a minor inconvenience (no alternator & air con) or will it bite me on the arse and then rape it?
The reason I ask is that I have booked my car in for it's 5 year cam belt change today; the whole lot including a new water pump etc. Unfortunately the bloke at the garage told me that the quote does not include renewing the auxiliary belts and their tensioners, although he said he will replace the belt if looks worn.
Is it easy to replace myself?
Shall I bite the bullet and pay the extra?
