Dealer Labour Hours for Timing Belt and Water Pump
« on: 29 April 2010, 11:26:16 »
Just a quick question guys.
I'm taking my 3.2 to the local Opel dealer for a Timing Belt and water pump change. Does any body know how many hours this should take? Just need a reference point so I know they are not stinging me. I have got my kit and water pump from Autovaux so it should just be labour.

Thanks all

You should really put your location and i would get it done by a forum member.  They are not only a lot chaeper but you get a much better job done.

autodata gives book time of 2.9 hrs for the belt and 2.9hrs for the w/pump but done together should be less than that

The other option is to do what I'm going to do.. And I'm not mechanically minded..

Purchased the DVD from the forum shop(already purchased), hire the cam locking kit from autovaux at £15.60+vat for 7 days (£100 deposit required).. And then fit it yourself...

You will probably do a better job than the stealers!!
