liams105e Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi, Just curious as to what I should expect to pay a mechanic for a 300 tdi cam belt change? Any advice appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saar Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Cam belt kit itself is around $100 USD. For a mechanic it would take about ~2-3 hours of work. (I don't know the cost of mechanic hour in your place...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcock Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I wouldn't know as I fit my own. I would also think it depended on your location and whether you are contemplating main dealer or local garage. Hopefully someone can give you a more accurate idea.

Saar Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 BTW, If you have some mechanic work experience, it is not too hard doing it yourself. Although, I would recommend that the first time would be with someone who knows what he is doing. I changed the timing belt by myself and wrote a guide, you can see it here. you can also see many guides on youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
