nyk Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Can't help with a garage but make sure it's done with a cold engine to get the timing right. Fiat Professional dealer who charged me £495 were very particular about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanb Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 nyk - 2018-02-08 11:17 PM Can't help with a garage but make sure it's done with a cold engine to get the timing right. Fiat Professional dealer who charged me £495 were very particular about this. I was browsing this thread in order to get some idea of possible charges for cam belt change. I do not think that temperature will have any effect on timing accuracy. It will however have an effect on the mechanic carrying out the belt replacement. Vehicle engines typically operate at about 80C coolant temperature, and exhaust systems could be much hotter. Common sense dictates that the engine should be allowed to cool to about 40C before working in such very close proximity to it. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zydeco Joe Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Not much use I know to the original poster but I paid £393.60 in November 2017 on our 2.3 Lt Fiat but the garage is in Brownhills near Cannock Staffordshire. Looks about the correct price for a good job. Done about 3500 since new cam belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
