1 drive belt - $51.10

1 timing belt - $84.86

1 belt tensioner - $121.22

1 water pump - $157.22

6 quarts antifreeze - $102.00

2 quarts steering fluid - $37.09

4 hose clamps - $10.00


I'm not complaining about prices.
I'm just really trying to figure out why he only needed one belt tensioner, and what the four hose clamps were for.

 

Hey,

What did you get done?

Jeff

 

I just bought a whole water pump/timing belt kit on ebay for $220 shipped.

It gets installed next week.... labor is $200 ...so only $420 parts and labor...not to shabby if i say myself!

Plus I got a new starter (brand new) for $82.00 shipped from ebay...goes in this weekend!

shop around! ...save your money!

 

looks like a timing belt change to me LOL those prices are crazy!! the belt tensioner is around 60 bucks from pure motorsports.com sometimes they replace the hose clamps if they are one time use. yeah ask why they didnt change the idler pulley it looks like a silver hockey puck (sort of)

Thats what I paid for my parts

 

Why was I under the impression that there are two tensioners that hold the timing belt in place?

 

I dont see any stretch bolts on that list either, which should have been replaced.

 

Well one of the old tensioners probaly looked good and the hose clamps were for his old Chevy. Call him he's most likey at the Casino spending all that money!

 

6 quarts of antifreeze!!!

After replacing my timing belt and water pump, I topped off the system with and a gallon or so of distilled water.

Pretty sure it only took me one bottle of PS fluid, from the dealer, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't even a 1qt container.

Also, I'd like to have seen the eccentric pully replaced. If you're replacing everything else the timing belt is riding on, why not that?

I really wish you had just brought the car up, we could knock it out in an afternoon, it'd be cheap, and you'd be sure it was done 100%
