When you get your cam belt changed, it's best to get the belt, water pump, rollers and pre-tensioners changed, regardless of condition! | |

there is a warranty on the belt & tensioners as long as you use original GM parts - doesnt matter who fits them be it a dealer or a back street garage | |

Its a tricky one, getting it done by a main dealer, you have the peace of mind knowing there is a warranty in the event of it breaking during its normal lifetime. | |

bloody hell rob. Well it needs to be done soonish, just spoke with a local garage, smallford motors in St Albans, he quoted me around £100, but he wouldnt change the tensioners and rollers if they werent knackered. Do you knwo anywhere decent rob? | |

Sounds about right, my camshaft sensor snapped off last year and damaged the belt. I can't remember the exact cost for the belt and tensioners as it was under warranty, but it was well in excess of £200 | |

1.6 16v. Just rang them, they said the tensioners and rollers are changed, and if the water pump is knackered, they change that at an additional cost!!! I think i will cancel. | |

My local dealer is charging me £250 to change the cambelt, since 40k miles is approaching. Am i being ripped off? |
