hello people, my cambelt was done at 60k miles (according to the previous owner) but my garage advised that my cambelt needs changed soon as its looking really worn... im sitting at 78k now.any way of checking it?is it possible for a cambelt to get worn out THAT quickly???

Enquired about a cupa r ive seen for sale and owner says its stamped to say its had a cambelt change at 46k. Would the dealer automatically change the water pump at the same time or is there a possibility only the belt would of been done?

hi all, Just thought i'd tell you all about my little story. my partner is 5 months pregnant and we thought we could do with a little rest and some sun before the baby was due . My cambelt on my cupra was due to be replaced so i thought i would be clever and book it in while we were away so...

I know its been covered many many many times before, but I cant find a thread specifically quoting the right date in years and amount of millage. so i wanted to do a poll on when people had theirs done at !!

On the 2.0 8v, when the cambelt is due to be replaced is it always a good idea to do pulleys etc at the same time? Is so, roughly how much would all parts for the job cost, and how much time would it take my mechanic mate to do? Thanks, Damian.

Is there any way I can check the condition of my cambelt so that I know to change it or not soon, as my car is nearing the 80k mark. Much appreciated :)

Just in the process of buying one of the above, so haven't got the owners manual (or car !!) yet, so I was wondering what the service interval is for the cambelt. Is it 4 years or 40k miles, and how difficult are they to change ??

My Altea 2.0 TDI Sport is due a cambelt change, 4 years are up but not the mileage 37K. I have had a quote of £273:-o, buy a local independent garage, this this quote includes the tensioner as well, using genuine Seat parts Is this a reasonable quote ? I'm going to phone the Seat dealer i...

New on here, so how do you do! I recently got the Cambelt and water pump changed on my 99 1.9 SDI Ibiza. When I collected the car the engine sounds almost like an electric whine. This noise goes away at speed, could it be just the brand of Waterpump? Any suggestions would be more than...

on average, how much have any of you 16v owners paid for a cambelt change at a local garage? reason i'm asking is i've just been quoted £230 fitted which seemed a bit steep to me.:confused:

i have a leon cupra "r" 2003.........210... its just comin up 2about 74000 will need 2 get the cambelt done and dusted..... but inside the engain i have little stickers sayin drive belt *new* 61000 next due 120,000 milessssss soooooo is drive belt just another name 4 cambelt or doooooo they...

:confused:I am currently looking to buy an alhambra diesel for up to £8000. The choice is vast but i think i have nailed it down. The only thing bothering me is the cambelt service intervals. I have read that they are either 40,000 or 80,000 miles depending on age / engine power. Obviously i...

Hi Before anyone says, I have used the search button! I have an Ibiza Cupra TDI. It says in my service book that the belt needs to be done at 60,000 miles. Nowhere in the book does it say that I need to get it done every 4 years. However, I've read on a few places that it does need to...

hey, anyone got a tip for me, about holding fast and unscrew the lower crankpulley without a special tool ?

My cambelt needs doing and im just wondering if anyone else has done there own and how easy did they find it? Ive had quotes of around £400 and I know the parts aren’t even £100. Ive done a few before but only on land rovers and older style cars. Is it that difficult to get in and around etc?

For anyone that doesnt know 8v'rs this is important and can prevent a whole load of running issues. On the 8 valve engines you need to time up the distributor pulley (edit; i believe this is only engines with the dizzy on the front ie not on the top/side of the engine) also, as well as the...

The person I'm looking to get a cupra from says he's changed the cambelt, but he can't produce a receipt - is there a simple way to tell a new cambelt from an old one or do you have to take it into a garage to get it assessed? Cheers!

Hi My 2003 TDI Sport 130PD has just passed its 5th birthday so I called a local independant SEAT garage to get it booked in for a cambelt change. I had thought it was due at 5 years or 60k miles (car has done 56k) but the chap there told me it was 4 years or 60k miles. I asked the price for...

Hi there - hope you can help me.... On Wed I got my 2001 1.6s SEAT Leon cambelt, tensioner kit, aux belt & water pump changed on my car from a local garage with a good reputation. Yesterday I drove about 50miles and all seemed fine but when I went to park the car I lost all power and when...
