Vehicle - Fiat Scudo 2.0JTD 2004 van
It's time for a cambelt change, and I'm not sure who the best people are to go for this sort of thing on this van. Should I trust my small back street garage who does all my general servicing, but seem to struggle on complicated technical things sometimes especially electronic diagnosis.
Or, should I go to someone who specialise in cam belts, like Mr Clutch (who I know nothing about) or a main dealer.
I phoned my main dealer for a quote for the belt, tensioner and water pump (ie. a cam belt kit) and came back at £646. This was a bit of a shock. Is this the going rate?
I'm just not sure how tricky it is to change cam belts on these vehicles and whether I should only trust someone who does lots of them on this model, or if I'm worrying unnecessaily and should let my local garage do it.
Any advice appreciated.
