this happend to me oil pump gsket went andwas pissin oil everywhere, mate to be honest if they got to look at the oil pump the cam belt has to come off and that wont add no extra labour....make sure the water pump is replaced with the cam belt :)

wouldn't do any harm to get a second or third opinion... at most you will have to change the cam belt... but that would only cost £15 for a new one.

unless the roller bearings aren't noisy you won't need a a full belt and bearing kit which will be in the region of £90

you could fit it all yourself if you got a resonable bit of knowledge, it not much of a problem, you just need to make sure your cam and crank marks are all lined up proper and the belt is tensioned right.

leave it to an expert if your not confidant about doing it, coz you can fuck your engine real good and proper.

But get another opinion for sure... don't take my word as god, coz i can't see ya motor.

Yer by the sounds of it, jus get a second opinion!!!!!!

its 4 hours work they recon. an they recon its damaged the cam belt, u recon its better to take it somewhere else??

who told you you needed all that replacing??

don't need a new cam belt kit??? why don't you just remove the belt and give it a washin.. there no reason why you can't just remove the plastic covers and wash it off on the car... jet wash will do the trick.

don't worry about it slippin off while drivin coz their designed in such a way that the belt centers itself to prevent this.

£350!! ouch! at most all you need is a new gasket, prob about £3.50p from your local dealer... the just the fittin costs don't go to vaux!! it will cost you £350

got an oil leak on my car, by the oil pump which has leaked onto the cam belt meanin that i now need new cam belt an cam belt kit an new oil pump gasket, total cost of £350!!!!!!!! fuckin hell! has ne1 else had this problem???:mad:
