#8: Re: Cambelt Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:19 am ---- what do you think about £130 for a top oxygen sensor ? is that expensive or not ?
#9: Re: Cambelt Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:22 am ---- top oxygen sensor? im guessing thats a lambda sensor? do you have 2? one before and after the CAT? I was under the impression these were DIY able?
#10: Re: Cambelt Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:34 am ---- sorry yes its the lamba sensor and im not to sure .. i just phoned the garage and they said the price lol

Sensors pretty easy, just need the right size spanner, and some elbow grease/penatrating oil. They like to weld themselves in with the heat.
#13: Re: Cambelt Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:48 am ---- do you think 130 is a good price if i was to send it to a garge ?

Considering a new sensor is about £70, or a used one for £30.
Its just a case of unscrewing & unplugging & vice versa.

Why would anyone buy a used one?

Keep costs down when buying a car to sell on

#29: Re: Cambelt Author: Surfer333, Location: Cardiff, WalesPosted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 1:46 pm ---- Good Luck.
I think that you will find that the Engine needs to be dropped in order to reach in / gain access to Cambelt and Water Pump.
My Cambelt and water pump was done July last year, and the garage moaned like hell, cause they had priced it cheap, and the actual job to fit new Timing belt kit and water pump took quite a few hours more than they'd quoted.
Might be an Idea to get the AUX Belt done at the same time, as water pump and timing belt kit.
Good Luck.

Huh?
OOops!!! I stand corrected, it would seem that only the GTi is a real pain in the a**e to change Aux Belt, Timing belt kit and water pump.
