Does anyone have an idea about how much a timing belt and tensioner change for a Marea 2.0 20v should cost?
Fiat quoted 1000 pounds,so I called around and I was quoted 350 pounds for labour by an independent dealer. After booking it in i was informed that because i wanted the tensioners changed as well this would mean that the engine would have to be removed Finally the full cost turned out to be 1041 pounds.
I always thought that for the timing belt to be replaced the engine would have to be pulled out but the mechanic insisted that if I didn't
request for the tensioners to be changed they would have been able to change the belt without pulling out the engine? Is this possible?
I would be grateful if anyone can enlighten me as to what the procedure is when it comes to replacing the timing belt.
