For those of you due to have a cambelt changed soon on any model Volvo see this link from Stratstone Volvo on eBay (times must be hard)

What sort of prices have they been charging prior to hard times ?

Monkey Boy · Feb 12th, 2009, 00:40

On my my previous 2003 XC90 I had the 96k service and cambelt change and it cost £680 + VAT!

indeed!

I've been quoted £249 but that is only because I asked for a price match against Stratstone , maybe I should phone round a few places & see now as I'm not too sure at all on the price .

It wont harm in trying. I do notice that the further north you go, the cheaper it gets!

I thought the indi price was about £125?

My 940 TD used to cost about £156 but it's a lot more difficult as you need to drop the engine to get at it.

Personally, I wouldn't let them near another cam belt of mine.
Caveat emptor!

whats the most likely price i would be able to get my local dealer to do a cambelt change on a 2006 185 d5?

i've been quoted c.£300 inc parts.

is it worth asking if they can do it £225/£250, and is there a particular time of year which is quieter and more likely to do a deal?
