I Found A 90 Red Laser Turbo, all excited and my friend buys it not knowing I was looking at it BASTARD! Anyways, we were looking at it and were wondering...

How much does it cost to have a timing belt replaced, (hint hint some new STPAUL shop should give me a quote)

Antifreeze is leaking near the belts, not sure if its waterpump, or what, havent really looked at to much, just starting on it today, anyways throw some knowledge my way.


:3gears:

Timing belt is right around $200-$300 + parts depending on where you go. Elite, and some individuals on here would be your best bet.

I got mine done for $200+ parts

Sounds like the waterpump is bad...get that taken care of.

Is it leaking oil also? It may be the head gasket also. Have you done a compression test yet?

200 bucks isnt bad with parts considering that the T-belt is 75 bucks and the Balance belt is 30... unless you get discounts at mitsu weeeee. Therefore I only pay for parts cuz Im doing it myself. Its not that bad of a job actually.

Peter, You missed "plus parts" on his post. $200 is a good price to have a belt done for labor. If it is not done correctly, it is much more expensive than that. There are a lot of costly potential hazards with doing a timing belt, it is one of those things that if you are guessing or don't know what you are doing, pay to have it done and sleep better. I believe Josh quoted this via PM for him as well.

Ahh didnt see the +. 200 isnt too bad for labor either. Yea TB can be a pain but if done right its not to bad to fix.

PM Josh (nightrider) to see if he can do it for ya. I would have gone to him but I didn't know he did it until it was too late.
