Cambelt change with the engine already removed

[bertieg]

just wondering if anyone has had this done, or any specialists on here who have done it, could give a rough idea on how much they've paid/charged for the job? obviously parts are still the same, but i imagine labour is reduced greatly


cheers

Hour or two labour.

Makes the job quite easy tbh.

Easy. 1 hour covers it no issue

 

[bertieg]

So should be looking about £300 for a cambelt swap? Or is that optimistic?

£300 including parts? And is that with a new Dephaser?

Its about 300 quid in parts for cambelt, aux kit, dephasor if you are doing a non cup.

Very quick and easy job with the engine out though, under an hour very easily.

wouldn't even be that, as the aux kit should be fitted once it's in the bay anyway (it's too tight to take chances with damaging it on the way in)

I'm all up for fitting the aux belt myself, should be simple enough. Looks like I might be rebuilding my new 182 then...

The aux belt tensioner is interesting to refit,
