Cam Belt Changed

Just had cambelt changed at Silbury skoda cramlington.

Price £301 and that was with me providing a brass impeller water pump.

They give me the old water pump and found it was like new.

This is off a 2002 octy with 38000 miles.

Re: Cam Belt Changed

Cheers, but the issue typically arises around the second cambelt change (based on changing at 48_000 miles).

Re: Cam Belt Changed

Looks good, but preventitive maintainance is the key, you done the right thing in the long run (for probably not much more outlay)

Re: Cam Belt Changed

My last one looked fine (not sure if was changed at the previous belt change or not), so was either 60k or 120k :-) But much better to change it before it fails, rather than to have to shell out for the cost of a another cambelt change.
