Cam belt for a Volvo V40

scorpionxedos

Looking to buy one for car with 60k mileage. This one is V-reg, 2000, with full Volvo service history.

Just wondering how much it would cost to fit a new cam belt?

The kit costs about £90 on euro car parts.

Sorry, what can I expect for a garage to charge?

about 2-3 hours labor rate plus VAT.


for E.G
say if £45.00 an hour labor rate, 3 hours at £45 = £135 plus vat @20% £165.00. IF you supply the parts.


If not and you OPT for supply and fit add £90 to 120 for the kit seems the going rate for the them ontop then your looking at £270 approx. inc. VAT added at the end.

Which engine ?
Petrol ?
The cheaper ones had a Mitibushi GDI lump in that was not so good , the better models like the Sport have a real Volvo engine which runs and runs until they have to shoot it.

Does the history say when it was last changed?
