Let him do timing belt only 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Gustaf on  Thu Dec 11 13:01 CST 2003 [RELATED]

IComparing the work I have had to put in doing the belt myself, I think 100 is a good price for the belt change. Ask him to replace the tensioner too. Skip the other things if the arenīt leaking.

I once bought a 245 with about 100 k, and changed the belt pretty soon. That belt was pretty frayed, looking like it would las only a short time. My guess is that the service interval is set so that if one change is missed it shall in 95 or 99%of the cases last to the next change interval. Going beyond that is to stretch things severely.
