Hi

Does anyone happen to know the price of a genuine cambelt kit? Something to do on Saturday I reckon!

Thanks

Joe

If I remember rightly for a cam belt, tensioners and a water pump it was nearing £190 genuine TPS bits but that was a year and a bit ago.

alright buddy, i paid around £156inc VAT for a new water pump, and timing kit which includes two belts and all new pulleys. That price was a garage price though so i'm guessing the general public price would be a little more. Luckily for me, i have a good friend who's a mechanic and allows me to use their Garage account to purchase parts.

I got mine on discount from TPS and it was about £130 for the lot, but I have good contacts lol

Sorted, coming together with all service bits and front discs and pads. All from TPS through work.

While I'm here, do you have torque settings for brake calipers/carriers and spark plugs??

Thanks

Sparks are 25nm I believe

Brakes are just tight lol

If a jobs worth doing....!
Na that'll do me, thanks!

Forgot to ask torque for sump bung?

Thanks!

No more than 20nm

Again, just tight

The sump is alloy so it's important not to over tighten it.

Second that, dont over tighten the sump plug.

Also, when i said £156, that did include the water pump too, loool.

£130, good going that

Not sure what I paid, get it done this saturday, serviced the saturday just gone. And got to do brakes at some point as well! All together it cost a bit!
