Timing Belt?

Post by Doates »

Hey guys. Whilst calling around and looking around for Feroza's, I am noticing a lot of them are due for timing belt change and so have to budget that in.

Just wodering what I can expect to pay for the change? around $400?

Thanks

Darren

I payed $80 Aus for my timing belt (Repco T182 95T-25mm Curvlinear)
and did the work myself. I don't know how much you would get charged for labour. If and when u do change the belt just check to make sure the timing pulley on the crankshaft isn't loose, the key sheered on mine and it cost me $1300.

Geniune Daihatsu belt ~$55. Depends on your mechanic as to how much cost- I had a full servicing including all oils changed, timing belt etc and it cost me ~$300. I supplied the engine oil and filter.

I found the same thing with Repco. Big time rip off merchants. :x :x :x

When I was looking for a replacement cluth kit they wanted $245.00 and genuine Daihatsu was only $185.00.

I think they take advantage of the fact that people automatically assume non genuine parts are cheaper.

Anyway ended up with a Daiken hevy duty clutch for $290.00 instead.

When I worked part time in the car industry the guys had a saying for Repco, it stood for:

Rip Every Poor C--- Off!

You'll have to use your imagination to fill the blank bits in. :roll:
