Mondeo MKII cam belt change

shopbot

Hi Everyone,
I need to get the Cam belt changed on a Mondeo MKII. Please can anyone tell me what this should cost and any tips for getting done as cheaply as possible.

Also, should I get the tensioner and pulleys done at the same time?

Thanks
SB

yes get the cam belt kit changed,this will include the belt and the pulleys.
use a gates kit (this is who makes genuine ford kits) or a genuine ford kit.
should cost around £200 for an independant garage to do it,a good bit more for a ford dealership i would guess.

My neighbour recently has his cambelt and tensioners/pulleys changed on his Ford Mondeo at the local Ford main dealer. It cost £364. Hence as mentioned above a good local independent garage will probably be cheaper.

Thats a pretty good price for a dealer!

If it's a petrol, like mine, change intervals are 100,000 miles, I got mine done, full kit and with power steering and alternator belts included cost me £140 all in at a good independent garage I use

I've been quoted £240 by two garages. One is an independent who I use and also a national chain.

The words 'national chain' make me nervous.... who are they?

I got quotes of between £295 and £635 all from main dealers. It's worth shopping around.

Thats one of the dearer belt changes i've had done, most are around the £100 mark;) If you're even in Northern Ireland i'll certainly pass on the address, but for most on here the cost of the ferry across may just put the cost up a bit:rolleyes:
