#1: 206 cylinder head gasket needs replacing. Author: duopkik, Location: prestonPosted: Tue Jul 08, 2014 7:54 am ---- After taking my car to the garage this morning for a service, they rang back later to say that the cylinder head gasket needs replacing. The car is a 1.4 from 2003 and has only done 45,000 miles. They haven't charged me which was good of them but at £450 it seems a little steep.
My friend says that it will need the head skimmed and valves re-seated and will also need a new belt and tensioner as well if replacing the head gasket.
Does this all sound ok?

The book time is about 6 hours if the above is true. Otherwise its a 4 hour job.
By the time you have a new cambelt kit and water pump, manifold gakets, oil and filter. Anti freeze, headgasket, headbolts it all adds up.
Whats the garages hourly labour rate?
