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

Re: Cambelt Kit
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.

Re: Cambelt Kit
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.

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

Re: Cambelt Kit
No more than 20nm
Again, just tight
The sump is alloy so it's important not to over tighten it.

Re: Cambelt Kit
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
