Cambelt replacement



  A well built VW
Roughly how much for replacement on a 2002 dci 65 ? Is it advisable to get anything else done ie. water pump at the same time

Cheers

didnt need to get the water pump done. not much extra to do tho if you want it done whilst the timing belt is off

not done a dci in a clio,, but i've done belts on dci laguna 2's and megane 2's and they were both a doddle and not a long job.. so assuming you have the same sort of room in the clio i wouldn't be wanting to pay too much for a belt change on one

Been quoted £230 or as recommended as the water pump is behind the timing belt £290

Someone else said not necessary to replace pump £230 or £280 if i want pump done

Anyone know the dreaded answer to the water pump question - is it behind the timing belt ? This seem a high price to others ? 3 hours work they are quoting

Yes the water pump is behind the cambelt cover and the alternator also has to come off to change it. Make sure they have the correct tools to do the cambelt because it has a floating crank pulley.

Once its all apart, have a look at the water pump, if its all ok leave it.

Christ prices seem to just get made up - I have one quoting me £157 to supply and fit kit but £130 for a water pump lol

How easy to do it yourself ?
