Thread: timing belt service - 3 questions???

For the logbook service the iniatal figure was over $1500. I'm now going to negotiate with the extra stuff I want done and get quotes from some independents as well to see what I can me up with.

Let me know what your dealer says.

Expect $4 to 5k including service and bits and upgraded oil housing if <MY09

after 2 follow up calls, still no quote from the dealer :/

for reference guys,

For the timing belt service plus the water pump, crank bolt and seal, coolant system crossover pipe. i got quotes between $2800 and $3100.

that price is well within the ballpark, looks pretty good to me...

yeah i was happy with that

Last Sport 3.0 I did the job total was about $2400. Both belts, pullies, tensioner, etc. No oil pump or seals. No water pump.

I will ask similar questions here.

RRS 2.7 TDV6

Work to be done - HP Injection Pump - straight forward but difficult for my arthritic fingers

Cam belt, serpentine belt, oil pump and thermostat housing.

I have priced the LR genuine oil pump and was shocked at the nearly $500.

Happy to do the work myself.

So where to buy kits for (obvious cheapest - not Brit Part and oil pump to be genuine unless there is a strong recommendation for something else)

Injection Pump Belt
Cam Belt
Serpentine belt
Thermostat Housing
Oil Pump


In the kits do you get everything (tensioners, idlers etc) or what else do you need to buy? Does the Cam Belt kit come with a new crank bolt or is this separate.

Lastly - I know what has to done but looking any tips for new players - like the cam/crank lock pins have to have the plateing removed to fit, there are some left hand threads, I have heard there can be issues with getting the fan off.

Thanks
