How much to change 2001 fiat punto timing belt?

[CS]

I have a 2001 fiat punto which has done 63,000 miles. I have been quoted £185 to change the timing belt. Does this seem reasonable?

 

[PontiusAutopilot]

Yes thats about right

That seems about normal. Though i am surprised that your 10 year old car has done so few miles.

That's a good price, ask if it includes the tensioner too. It's worth getting that done at the same time.

Good price. If this is the original belt then essential to change it as if it fails, and at 10 years it will be getting there, think an extra zero (£1850) Make sure things like tensioning pulleys are included in the job as there is no place for "That'll do" when doing a belt job

Excellent price in my experience, £250 would be about right.
