both belts changed?

[raggit]

when people refer to the above is that the aux belt along with the obvious cam belt?

if so, how much roughly should an aux belt change cost?

 

[Needster]

Aux should be done at 36k or 5 years (IIRC). So both should've been done by now or shortly be getting done on some 182s.

Some places do it together (cam and aux) for about 480 quid, usually get a service done at the same time. A dealer will be a lot more.

For an aux alone, no idea.

What's the millage and age of car? You sure it just needs an aux change?

Roughly 250 area from a dealer

where is the best place to get this done, as I need both belts and a service as the one im buying has hit 60,000 and is 5 years old.

Im not sure if the first belt which should be done at 36k has been done, if i take it to a specialist will they be honest with me and know whats been done??

 

[Needster]

Where are you based? Checked out the specialists on the forum in the traders section.

The aux belt has to come off to get the cambelt changed, so best replacing them together instead of reusing the belt.

JMS aren't too far away I think.

Give Mick a bell at Diamond motors: http://www.diamondmotors.co.uk

He has just done my 172, full engine swap, fitted new timing belt kit, aux belt, and clutch.

Will save you a fortune and he does the job right.
