Main dealer cambelt change and major service cost
Hi,
My local dealer has quoted me £1100 for a cam belt change and major (144k miles) service for my VEA D4 V60. They have offered to do the work at a reduced rate of £986. Last time I had a major service the cost was £400 so I'm assuming they are charging around £600 for the cambelt. This is a bit more than I was expecting, but has anyone else had this work done and, if so, what were you charged? Thanks. |

Have you checked using the On-Line service calculator on the Volvo Website.

I followed advice on here and avoiding the dealer for a service and going to my local garage. A third of the Volvo quoted cost. Cheers |

Curious about the cost of this too.
Just had my 5 year service done (original 5 year pack), I suspect next year is "the biggie" - my mileage will still be under 90k, so I will be looking into this next summer. As well as an indie Volvo specialist in Leicester (most likely choice - I do know them), there do appear to be a couple of garages who seem to specialise in cam belt changes (eg, https://www.timingbeltsrus.co.uk !!) I wonder if that makes their work any better....

Now on 78k miles so will get the next service in well below the new cambelt replacement interval of 90k miles, so avoiding the extra whack for the cambelt change. However the service after that won't be getting done by a Volvo dealer!

As it's worked hard I am sticking to main dealer despite the pain. If LR main dealer wants to work on my S11a they would need to pay me. |

Has anyone performed a cambelt + waterpump change themselves?
I'm very hands on and would like to give this a go obviously using the correct tooling. I have VIDA, hence this should give me a good guide. I can only assume its the little tricks of the trade that would obviously hinder the time it takes. |

Cam change belt @ £299 or cam belt and aux belts @ £399 - that's at Snows Volvo (you can look it up on the Internet). Price is good, had it done myself nearly one month ago now and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Major service should be in a vicinity of £400, I would think? So the price you were given is way off the mark - I fear you are being taken for a ride. So, worth asking for detailed breakdown and checking what's included - I suspect that aux belts might (unnecessarily) be thrown in as well. And worth checking Volvo Service Price Indicator either: https://www.volvocars.com/uk/own/mai...rice-indicator And show around. |
