What affects the price
- type of timing system (belt or chain)
- engine design type and complexity (V6, V8 and boxer engines cost more)
- whether the water pump is replaced together with the timing belt
- availability and quality of parts (original or aftermarket)
- garage location
Usually included in the price
- complete timing chain kit (chain, tensioners, guides, sprockets)
- labour involved in removal and installation
- sometimes replacement of the water pump, if it is driven by the timing belt
Usually charged separately
- coolant when replacing the water pump
- additional engine repairs identified during dismantling
Timing chain replacement is usually more expensive than timing belt replacement, mainly due to the higher cost of parts and the greater amount of labour required.
Prices from customers and companies
Two types of entries: customers state how much they paid for the entire job and rate the contractor; service providers enter their price lists. Customer entries have three reliability levels: ✓ verified: invoice or receipt (the editorial team has seen a document matching the entry), ✓ verified: declaration (the author confirmed the entry using a link sent by e-mail) and unverified (how we verify entries); we do not verify company price lists. Price lists entered by companies are not included in the median at the top of the page; customer amounts are included only for services priced as a complete service.
