Afternoon all
is any one able to provide me with some idea of how much a Cambelt and water pump will cost me from Vauxhall Dealers(wakefield) as the car has done around 65,000 1.9cdti 120, donrt want to risk going to 100,000 as per the manufature state
any advice would be great
thanks Craig

Around £600ish?

I had mine done from VauxCare Wirral for £245 and that included parts.

Thanks for that 600ish eek ive seen that they are doing a fixed price £249 for a vectra cambelt change, i gather the pump is expensive then plus labour to fit, do you recomend the pump to be changed at the same time, forgot to say mines a 56 plate

Not the most technical minded but they do recommend changing the pump along with cambelt as they have the same sort of life span. Sometimes your waterpump can go before your cambelt, it will cost you more if you had the cambelt done and then the waterpump at a later date so I'd say go ahead and get waterpump done too.

Have you had a ring around some local garages instead of the stealers? Maybe get the parts yourself then just ring around for labour costs which might work out cheaper again.

didnt think about that wasnt sure that local garages would just do the labour would it be best to get GM parts from dealers or non gm parts, sorry for all the questions
cheers so far mate

Water pump and tensioners are best changed at same time. As belt rarely fails on its own. And is usually down to failed water pump or tensioner

i have a burning smell from the cambelt area i think its my water pump which has seized its on 62000 miles

i will find out at the week end to take the cambelt casing off

so i would get the Water pump and tensioner /beltchanged at same time
