Timing belt needs replacing on a Saab 1.9 TiD

    Got a quote of 650-750 from a dealership.
    This was just for timing belt.

    I think I should get the water pump replaced while I'm at it, but after that quote from the dealer, I ain't touching them.

    Anyone know what this should cost and where to go to get value?

    Location?
    There's a guy in Belfast that's supposed to be good. Can't remember the name now but search the forum and you should find it.

    As far as I understand it that is the same engine as used in Opel vectras, Fiat and Alfa diesels, if so I was quoted €300 but the local Nissan garage for replacing the belts alone, I'm sure the local indy would do it a bit cheaper than than, the water pump is a must on these too.

    Biko, I'll travel anywhere if it's a decent price. Is the guy in Belfast Walsh motors or something? Are they not an audi/VW dealership or do they do any car?

    Bladespin, I don't know about the opel, but it's the same engine as the Alfa 1.9 JTD, as far as I'm aware and I think it's made by Fiat.

    I got my 9-3 Tid done by an indy here in Galway for 400 a few weeks ago.

    That engine is made by Fiat and is also fitted to Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Opel cars. It might be worth ringing around a few of those dealers for a price, Opel were doing special offers on timing belt changes last year afaik.
