Mon, 27 May 2002 11:36 Ok if the mechanic says you need a new timing belt you may need a new timing belt, i dont think $1000 to do the timing belt is right, a timing belt should be replaced every 100,000 ks and it is normally about $300 worth of labour depending on the vehicle and how hard it is to get to the timing belt. Tink of it this way if you dont replace the timing belt when it should be replaced, and it snaps, your motor is F*cked the valves will come down and hit pistons and snap and bend, pistons will become un-useable, head wil be damaged and basicly you will ned a completely new engine, what would you rather in the long run? a $400 maintenance bill or a $3000 bill for a secondhand engine and fitting? if anything ask a few of your mates where they have taken their cars and what their opinions are of the workshops and get a second opinion on what needs to be done.
