Part should be approx £108 and labour 2-3 hours so should be in the region of £200-250 depending on the labour cost

Edited to say I think the labour charges I incurred were nearer £45 ph so you could be looking at £300 but that should be tops and inc VAT

as above really, not as part of any service just a standalone cost if anybody has one..?

Thanks!

Flame suit off

Bring it on !!!

 

You've only got 2 cams though!!

I did my own (with a proper Subaru belt) in 1.5 hours at a cost of £50. I believe the belts cost £70ish now (but not from main dealers!!) - I got one when they were on special offer from somewhere.

It's not that difficult on the older classics (the ones with the nicer tensioner! ) if you've done cambelts before. Don't be put off by it having as many cams as cylinders!

A mechanic acquaintance said he would do it for £50 + the belt as long as the car didn't have AC, as it would take a bit longer and cost about £70 + belt cost.

 

Mart360, how long ago was that? have you had any problems so far?

 

Halfords will squirm their way out of anything that involves them putting a hand in a pocket (unless it yours!).

Was told always use a genuine belt - so was £108 for the belt too expensive or about right given it wasnt bought on 'special'???

 

Little Miss Sti - thanks, where is Scoobyclinic? (I'm Lancs based)

 

I spoke to the a few weeks back regarding a new belt. I think they said £125 all in. May be wrong but not far off i think. There based in chesterfield.

 

Depend what you want to be changed. You can do the belt and nothing else, that's the cheap solution.
I plan to replace everything Belt, tentioner, all pulley and the alternator belt. I know it is the safe and expensive solution, but I hope I can run trouble free for the next 60K miles

£100 plus belt of your choice !

 

Subaru use Gates belts; so a gates belt is original in all but the name that they wrote on it. Subaru Service Centre in Sheffield will do a 4 cam belt for £175+.
