cambelt

Just thought I'd let you know, I've just finished my cambelt. Thought tensioner was on way out, so took top cover off, & felt water pump. Was about 2cm of movement!!! Changed belt, tensioner, & water pump. Engine runs quiet as a mouse now. Whole job done in an hour, no probs. Also, checked out...

I have 2 quotes for a 40k service (Sept 2004 LCR) as follows: (i) £366 (labour + parts: oil, oil/pollen/air filters, spark plugs, top ups) and (ii) £184 from Seat garages (I would prefer to go to a stealer for service stamps, so I know I'll pay more...) Not surprisngly the second was...

My car was born in Nov 2004, and how time flies, is now almost 3.5yrs old. As we all know the manual says to change the belt at 60k or 4yrs. It has only done 32k - but with a service due at 35k around early summer time - should I be looking to get the belt changed then? Thanks.

Lo all, new to the forum and hopefully this week will be an owner of a 2003 Leon 1.9 TDI Cupra. I have place a refundable holding deposit whilst I obtain some more info and also get some answers from the dealer. I have done a search for when to change the cambelt, as well as searching the web...

Just had a quote for the above £452 inc VAT (service, cambelt and water pump). Seems reasonable quote, anyone got it cheaper?

Hi all im a newbie here so sorry if this post has been on here before, i used to and still and a member of audi-sport.net sold my audi a4 for a leon cupra r and im lovin it fantastic car. just have a question the car had 84k miles full seat service history but it hasn't had a cambelt change done...

Of all the cars I've had, I've never kept them long enought to chnage the cambelt, but as per my other thread Im looking to get a Cupra TDi which needs the belt doing Anyone recommend anyone in Birmimgham who is good and reasonable on price? Thanks

Hi all, I'm considering a Mk1 Leon FR TDI thats on an 04 plate but has only 20k on the clock. At present I have an Octavia vRS and the book stated 120k to change cambelt, but then Skoda changed this to 120k or 4 years, whichever comes first. Does this also apply to Seat since they are the...

I had a quote of £593 today to do the cambelt, water pump and tensioner and 120k service on our LC today. From an independent but reputable garage. Does this seem like a reasonable price? I guessed at £600 for main dealer to be honest.

Hi all, After some advice please, my 2002 '52' Leon Cupra had its 40,000 mile service yesterday and I asked for them to check the condition of the cambelt out of curiosity. Needless to say they 'recommended' that it be changed fairly swiftly. Now the car has only covered 37k but of course...

Our Leon Cupra is shortly due for its second cambelt change. Can anyone recommend a good garage in Plymouth or Cornwall to do it for me? Any idea on price. I strongly dislike the Seat dealership in Plymouth so thats not an option! Also what else ahould I insist is done at the same time? Water...

Can anyone give me an idea of what this should cost & where i can get one from at a good price - just the kit not fitting. I have a 2003 Leon Cupra cheers :)

Local garage - who are usually O.K. - have quoted me £300 for cambelt change (kit with tensioners etc) and metal water pump inc labour for my 1.4 AKK Jan 2000 Ibiza . . . BUT ... they have 25% discount on this so it'll work out at about £225!! Does this sound about right folks? Last change was...

Hi Just picked up a Leon Cupra TDi.... So far so good but needs the cambelt doing....I'm not a fan of paying through the nose for dealer servicing so will get my local garage to do it for me....Question is what else needs doing at the same time such as water pump?? auxillary belts...

Dear All, I am not sure if this is a rip-off but this is the quote from AVIT in Slough: "Hello The total cost for cambelt,cambelt damper,waterpump,coolant and ribbed belt change for your Leon Cupra R would be £412.25 inc vat total. We always use genuine dealer parts which...

gonna pull the engine out this weekend to replace clutch, to replace cambelt and jetwash the engine compartment. so i'm looking for advice on cambelt replacement. ie does the tendioner need replacing and is there any other stuff I should know?? All advice gratefully received!! cheers in advance

Dear All, My 2003 Cupra R which has only done 27K is due for its 5th year service and mot soon. As I still have the Seat Warrenty, I have to go to Seat any ideas on the Price? Furthermore do you think I should get the cambelt and water pump changed? If I use a metal improller for the water...

Hi, Fancy doing my cambelt in the near future as I have no history on the car and it's nearing 100k. Haven't done one before though have read in some posts that it's fairly straightforward with a Haynes at hand and should only take a couple of hours or so... What I wan't to know is what...

Hi peeps, Is it best to get the job done at the seat stealers to get some sort of security on the job? or can any VAG garage do it with some sort of warranty?? How much can I expect to be paying?(I paid £303 for my polo at VW)
