OOOFF!
Did the Timing belt break? It happened to me a few years back at around the same price... (I'll never get another Alfa Romeo again lol.

Hi PV, it didn't break but it was due for changing by Nov so I thought while water pump was being done it was cost effective to do the belt as well. Skoda state 5 years or 75k miles for the timing belt which is quite a duration compared to many. Car is 5 years old in Dec and already done 56k miles.

Yeah, I have learnt my lesson about Cambelts! My Alfa blew a load of valves straight into the top of the engine.... OOOFF! ££££££££!
Now, every time I get a vehicle, it's serviced straight away and the Cambelt + Water filter are changed....
My van has a timing chain (relief)....
Easy to see why manufacturers opt for the belt rather than the chain............ servicing revenue :(
Yeah, they really got you by the balls with belts....
I was surprised when i found out that my van has a CHAIN lol = Little victories.
All the little victories help :)
