Is it expensive to change the cambelt for a fiat coupe N-Reg, 16v 2.0L?

Answer 1

parts are a reasonable price if you search for them on catalog.eautoparts on yahoo. then you will have to have an alignment done so you are looking at about 100 to 150 if you replace the parts your self about 200 if you have a mechanic do it

Answer 2

Fiat Coupe Cambelt Change

Answer 3

On a 16v model it shouldn't be more expensive than on any other normal car. Budget about £300, less if not using a main dealer.

On the later 5-cylinder 20v models it is a lot more expensive - the wider engine doesn't leave room in the engine bay to access the cambelt, so the engine has to be removed from the car to change the cambelt.

Answer 4

Autodata gives the repair time for timing belt change as 3.15 hours. Obviously labour charges will vary from garage to garage but an independent garage is likely to charge less than a Fiat dealership.
Add the parts costs of about £30 to the hourly rate *3.15 and you should have a good guesstimate

Answer 5

If it's the one with the similar engine to the Lancia Integrale, it's a dog awful job. There are extra balance shafts within the engine (Which possibly? have additional belts) Access will likely be difficult too. I don't envy you.
Phone your local Fiat dealer - then take 40% off if you have it done at a local garage.
