Bro, it's the best that you purchase all the original parts from stockist and bring it down to your local mechanic to fix it up

[Accent01leo]

Just pm you. :P

last yr I change my 3 belts including the timing belt is about $275.

[Accent01leo]

That is in Singapore right? Including the parts supplied by the workshop too?

[Metalbone]

yup in sg, parts also supplied by the workshop. I have done all my car servicing there so no problem trusting them.

Bro, I think if you have your stuff, workmanship is about 50 bucks only in Sin.

[Metalbone]

change 3 belts workmanship only $50? wow thats cheap.

 

cos that time I need to change my aircon compressor urgently too, so I didnt scout around.

[Mivec9]

i took timing belt package...250 bucks..

[Accent01leo]

hopefully it would be much cheaper and worth the effort for me to go jb.

Due to the comments from the technicians from my orginal brand dealer that my compressor belt and alternator belt is hardened, I got it change but at outside shop as the dealer usually change much more expensive. My milelage had hit 70,000KM. Cost $65 for the job done at a shop at Tuan Guan area. By the way, can I drive till 100,000 than change my timing belt? Normally what is the advise distance cover before due for change?

Bro, from my experience normally people change their timing belt, fan belt, power steering belt, water pump, water pump bearings all in 1 shot as to cut down the labour cost Normally, all these belts are changed at a interval of 80,000km for most japanese makes.

[Vtim]

sorry for the late reply

[Accent01leo]

The labour cost is $65?

How about the part cost?

[Pisces69]

Timing belts r sold in most auto spare parts shops. Gat a jap made belt & parts & u sud b safe.

 

For normal jap cars is about $300 incl tensioner, bearing, water pump & all other belts. For your flat four, i'm not too sure but if got 2 belts, then might b almost double the price.

 

If u have a reliable ws, he sud b able to do a decent job for you. Afterall it's a very common repair.

 

I wud also stick with SG ws as those in JB might just give u more headaches for a few $$$ savings.

[Pisces69]

Agreed. I have them all changed at 90K km for my jap car.

[Pisces69]

U mean just alternator & AC compressor belts cost u $65? Normally abt $300 to change ALL belts, water pump, tensioner & bearing is fair for jap car.

 

For the timing belt, check your manual for the change interval, and stick to it.

 

I normally change all the belts together at 90K km.
