Title: Ford Focus Cam belt change
Post by: pscocoa on 09 March 2019, 08:53:09

Crept up on my daughter a bit but her Focus now 10 years old she is advised at service of scheduled change - was a bit surprised at even independent cost of change at £400 + but looking around - the fact that water pump is changed as well goes a little way to explain.

When Omega belt changed at a dealer was about £260 to £300 but that was a few years ago.

Seems to have been 4 man hours labour to do the Focus job .

£60 per hour plus parts plus Vat. Seems pretty reasonable  :y

The local indy garage charged me £388 for a cambelt and water pump change on my Mondeo a few months ago.  :(

Thanks Guys - reassuring that it is about right. Tidied up a few other things on top of this so hopefully good for a few more years yet.
