cambelt

I know there have been posts in the past, but I'm getting mixed messages. When should I be replacing my cambelt (and water pump)? I've seen 5 years / 70,000 miles 7 years / 120,000 miles I've even seen as high as 140,000? I've seen other posts where seat dealers are saying 5 years, but then...

Hi, I'm about to replace cambelt in my ibiza 2012 1.4 16v I'm not sure what torque setting for each bolt. Can someone with good information source tell me what torque should I use? Does the settings specify in this site are reliable...

Hey guys, My car is due for a cambelt change soon! Is it right in saying I should get the water pump changed at the same time?? Cheers, Wayne

hi all, right i had the car fitted with a new cambelt, tensioner and waterpump yesterday, i also got them to fit a new Demon silicone TIP. I picked the car up and thought the TIP was causing me more lag and really didnt do much at all. The boost didnt seem to push you back in the seat like it...

i did search before posting this, when does the camblet kit need to be replaced on a cupra, its been done at 53k in 2006, and its now on 83k, should i look into getting this done pretty soon?

Hi everyone, I have a Leon FR 170 TDI 56 reg with just over 70,000 miles. Does anyone know what the intervals for changing the cambelt and water pump are on this model? Any advice would be much appreciated ! Cheers, Simon

As per title, could you post typical prices paid for the belt kit & labour (inc. how many hours)? Cheers, Paul

I changed my cambelt and water pump on my lcr at the weekend. Had a rite nightmare. Started it up after doing job and got a misfire. Almost shat myself thinking i had bent valves but turned out to be a dodgy coil pack so i replaced all 4 and all was well. Then i noticed that the secondary water...

Got my LCR225 booked in for a cambelt and water pump change this weekend, although it's less than the recommended 60k miles (44k) it is over the recommended four years old. At least, I can't see anything in the service logbook that says it's been changed and I don't want to risk it breaking...

Can anyone confirm which service/miles this needs to be done, and what the current going rate is at both Seat dealers and independents. It will be due its 4th service in the summer and will probably have done 50K miles by then too. I'm thinking of swapping it for something else anyway and...

I've just been quoted £368 for an 80,000 miles service, and £399 for a cambelt change from the stealers. Sounds a little steep to me, I'm sure it should be a lot less than that. How much have you guys paid / expect to pay? I'm sure I read someone on here had it done for half that, but dealer...

Hi, Could anyone tell me where i can get a full camblet change (tensioner,pump etc) for my PD130 in the York area, for a reasonable price? I was quoted about £450 buy SEAT, and £300 from an independent garage in York! Thanks Peter

Just been quoted £450 for replacement and fitting of the water pump and cambelt on my LCR by my local JCT600 Seat dealership. If I want a oil & filter change too they want £100 on top! :wtf: Just checked on e-bay and it seems that cambelt kits are £120ish and water pumps anything from...

My cambelt snapped on Sunday :-( its in the garage but they haven't stripped anything yet any ideas on costs worst case, is it worth fixing car has 80k an I got belt done at 70k. Other choice Is stripping for parts, got revo stage 2 with all mods, Wats it worth in bits? Any help or...

Im sourcing parts to do my Cambelt vwspares have a cambelt kit consisting of cambelt tensioner roller and obviously i will buy the metal impeller water pump My mate told me today that i also need Cambelt/Tensioner Damper Cam chain tensioner Is this needed?? they dont come...

Right then, with my new Arosa on the drive way its time to think about a cambelt service. I can't find any reference to the cambelt being changed. I'm planning to call the garages that the car has been to and find out what was done. If not, I think it'll be cambelt kit and waterpump time...

Hi there, My Cambelt/water pump service is due around now and I'm looking for someone half decent in the Leeds area that could do the work for me. I live pretty near the main Seat dealership in Leeds who have serviced my car since new but I fear they will charge me the earth for the...
