D4 Timing belt replacement..?

Can someone confirm when a D4 SDV6 needs its timing belt(s) changed.

Ive just been quoted £1000+ by my usual (very reasonable usually too) dealer as it's a "big service" and needs belts doing.

My D4 is a 61 reg with 80k miles.

cheers

simon

ps Another dealer quoted £515, but the service person was new and may not have picked up on the need for a timing belt (if indeed its needed)

Between £650-£800 is what I see quoted alot.

This is for the belts only-not a service as well.

OK, so £1000 for belts + service would be a reasonable price..?

Is 80k miles / 7 years the right time for the belts to be done..?

cheers

I think they should be done at 112k miles or 7 years, whichever comes first.

£1000 for service and belts seems good to me Thumbs Up

My local indy quoted £600+VAT for the Belts, plus £180 for the service so about the same.

I seem to remember the suggestions on the forum is the change the Water Pump at the same time but will let the experienced people comment on that.

Just paid £1915.18 for my belts with a service, oh and they threw in a couple of inlet manifolds for free whilst they had a spare couple of mins. Laughing

Wow, I'm going to faint...lol

Maybe I misheard after they started saying one thousand, I could have not heard the rest of the "...nine hundred and fifty".

B@gger, that EV calculation is looking more compelling.

Cheers

In fairness the belt actually only cost me about £100, as extra labour, based on it being £1500ish for both manifolds to be replaced (c.10+ hours labour)

I believe 105,000 Miles or 7 Years, which ever first..

I paid £850 all in, in April this year for a service and belts on My D4 SDV6 MY12, It had 110,000 as I was late having the last service..

That was DLS in Wirksworth, Derbyshire So near you I guess, and had the same quote from a reliable forum member Thumbs Up but would of had to travel to get to them.

The dealer quoted £1650+Vat
