I'm looking to buy a mk4 astra 1.7dti and was wondering if any members on here had a cambelt change recently and what the going rate was.

Cheers.

Had a quote for my Toyota fanny magnet at £80 plus parts. Don't forget the new water pump and belt tensioner.

Just scrapped a perfectly good saxo. Tensioner not changed with the belt, tensioner went, belt jumped and valves had a party.

Have you tried an independant specialist? Had mine done the other day (Omega 2.2), main dealer £350. Vauxalist in Lincoln £215 all in, inc belt, tensioner, pulleys and water pump.

It cost about £125 to have it done on my 2003 Astra 1.7dti.
It's not difficult and seldom required loads of "extras".
