Vectra Repair Pricing

pennypincher3562 · 2014-09-02 18:41:31

Hi I've just got my Vectra 1.7 petrol back from the garage, and was wondering if these were reasonable prices for repair: Camshaft oil seal x 2= 120 Timing belt x 1 = 23 Inlet Camshaft Pulley x 1 = 187 The above does not include vat, and oddly I can't see any labour charges!? Cheers PennyPincher3562

A knackered pulley won't cause a leak. But, if it's got a rubber component in to remove vibration, that could well be badly damaged by the leaking oil. Rust on it? Well, it could cause damage to the belt, but unlikely to really be an issue. If he's got it apart for the cam seal anyway, then it's purely and simply part cost.
