My dealer told me that they still do the cambelts at 45k or three years, my cars only done about 28k in three years, and they want 220 for JUST the cambelt cahnge!

I have an MY99 uk turbo, the dealer service which included the cam belt was 45,000 mile. I have been quoted £330 for the 60,000 mile which seems the going rate.

If any dealer is still changing the cam belts at 45k on anything over a 01my motor, then they are taking one for a definate "ride". The timing belts dont need a change till 60k, so the dealers are simply being greedy for the servicing costs. Put it this way, how many other manufacturers need belts at this low mileage now? Likewise, have heard of some dealers still insisting on 6mth services when should be onto the annual servicing scheme, and they haven't even bothered to update the service books in the cars so to cover their schemes.. So I'd sooner check first, then pay out, not the other way round..

60k on a MY00 (30k + a cambelt change) will be over £700 from a dealer. The flip side is that the 45k is just a regular 15k service, so about 150 quid.
