According to costhelper.com, the cost of timing belt replacement varies between Â£162 and Â£487, depending the make and model of the car as well as the price of the labour. To offset any sticker shock, it's best to discuss cost in any initial consultations with your mechanic.
I have a 2001 VW Passat. The timing belts are supposed to be replaced every 80,000 miles, and I am at 160,000 miles, looking to replace them again. I went to a European specialty shop who has done some work on my car before, and they gave me an estimate of 850$, for all parts and labor.This seems absurdly high to me.f the labor is around $85 to $90 an hour, that's $510 to $540 in just labor alone, Then there is the cost of parts, the belt, the tensioner, most likely a new water pump as most pumps in driven off the timing belt now days, May as well do it while you are in there.
