Back From The Garage

[crezz]

Took the beeza in to my local garage today to have some work done.

had the cambelt done everything replaced that came in the kit.

Also had the alternator belt/ power steering belt changed.

Had a plate welded in the sill and smoothed over and primed up.

I also had a ding in the boot (just beyond the spoiler) which was beated back out.

had all this done for about £230. i was quite pleased with that.

what do you reckon?

cheerz

I don't surpose it says how much they charged for the cambelt change on the invoice does it?

Anyway, that seems a really good price!

 

[Gm8]

seems quite reasonable m8

 

[crezz]

was i right to get the whole kit changed rather then just the cam belt?

 

[Wallis22]

I know on TDI models you should change the whole kit but not sure about petrol models. Better to be safe than sorry though

 

[crezz]

thats what i thought, might as well have it done whilst its all apart, dont have to worry about it now.

 

[surcalation]

Definately didnt have it done at SEAT then

 

[Jamin Berry]

Whats the part number for the kit?

 

[Ninja]

definately best to get it all changed for new parts!

Good price there!

 

[myseatcupra]

sound like a good price you got. and its best the change all the belts then you shouldnt have to get your hands dirty then

 

[Jib]

Thats really really cheap for the work you had done.........

Anyone know how much SEAT charge from a cambelt change on GTI valver these days?!

 

[crezz]

dunno what the part number is im affraid, but i fink i paid £50 for the kit and other belts. best i seen on ebay ws £76 for a cam belt kit which consisted of roller ect

SEAT in Swansea / Llanelli wanted £245 just for a Cam Belt change, Best price I have been quoted is by my local garage £150, Getting it done as a hoble though. When the car is running again

 

[crezz]

not a bad job on the sil considering its just a garage and not a bodyshop. im quite impressed.

 

[Mckellar]

the cambelt was done on my ibiza before i got it.
the kit was supplied and fitted for £105

just to give you an idea of cost.

Wow that seems really cheap. I was quoted around £400 for a cambelt change on my Honda. Honda will charge around £500 tough!

On my 16V Ibiza a cambelt change at my local independent garage was about £120 fitted... I had three done over the years and changed them at 45k miles to be on the safe side!

 

[crezz]

'gerry 16v' was that just the belt or the kit?

 

[Gerry 16v]

crezz, that was parts AND labour... if i remember correctly the garage only changed the belt (dont know what 'the kit' is but the garage is excellent so if it needed changed they would have done it) and they said that the belts are about £15 - the rest of the charge is labour.
