cost of getting a cam belt change on a 200 tdi
kevhenson:
can someone tell me what the going rate is for getting the cambelt done... reason im asking is have had a few quotes between the £250 and 300 mark...thought it was steep so feeling the ground...can feel a diy job coming on!!
cheers
Sharpshooter:
I would have said a couple of hundred is fair. If you supply the parts. I wouldnt tackle it yourself, if you dont have the correct knowledge, or tools.
There are a couple of professional tools you will need. One is a special spanner to get the fan off. The other is a good torque wrench.
Not the easiest DIY job
Im lucky, its my game. :)
Dr Neil:
Kev, depending on when you are doing it, if you get stuck i could give you a hand, have done a few in the past. like has been said a couple of the tasks can be tough, removing the pulley bolt and pulley, but upto now i've managed with a little help from my friends, then again that's wot it's all about, helping each other......
hobbit:
My local place does it for around £150-180 ish bring your own parts
They are diesel specialists
kevhenson:
neil thanks a lot... may take you up on that offer...only thing bothering me about doing the job is actually being able to undo the crank bolt....sposed to be a real tight un!!
hobbit thats a lot better than around here as you can probably tell!
