The price of a cambelt change cost can vary, depending on the garage that you visit. On average, a VW Polo cambelt change can cost between £300 and £400. Most of this price comes from the labour costs, as changing the cambelt is a very labour-intensive job – many parts of the vehicle need to be removed to get to the cambelt, and then put back on afterwards, which can take several hours.
Enter your vehicle registration number and postcode into BookMyGarage to instantly compare prices on cambelt changes from garages near you. This will help you book the best deal on your appointment.
A heritage German brand that has been a favourite for decades, it’s hard to throw a stone without hitting someone who owns or has owned a Golf at some point in their life! It’s essentially a rite of passage for anyone searching for a safe, reliable, and family-friendly car.
Interestingly, Volkswagen has three cars in the top 10 list of best-selling cars of all time - the Volkswagen Golf, the Beetle, and the Passat. Not bad, right?
Known for their reliability and value for money, VWs have long served as a reasonably priced little sibling to the more luxurious Audi, receiving excellent reviews across the board when it comes to the motoring press. You’d be hard pressed to find a range of cars as practical, safety-conscious, attractive and just generally good to drive as a Volkswagen.
Some vehicles use a timing chain to regulate the combustion process rather than a cambelt. This looks like a metal bicycle chain and requires lubricant to work. It is much more durable than a timing belt, lasting more than 200,000 miles if looked after well. However, you should book regular oil and filter changes and a timing chain service after 125,000 miles to keep it in good condition.
You can consult your vehicle handbook to find out whether your vehicle uses a timing chain or timing belt. Failing that, you can check your engine bay for a plastic cover on the right- or left-hand side of your engine. If you see this plastic cover, your car uses a timing belt. If not, it uses a timing chain.
You can check the condition of your cambelt by opening the bonnet and looking at the belt. You should find this at the side of your engine. It may be underneath a plastic cover so you may need to lift this up to get a proper look.
When you check your timing belt, look for the following:
If your cambelt is showing any of the above, you should book a visual inspection as soon as possible. These indicate that it is coming to the end of its life and may fail soon.
Whilst there is no exact answer to this question, it is generally thought that you should replace your VW Polo's cambelt at the 4 - 5 year mark. To find out when you should change your car's cambelt, refer to your vehicle handbook for more information.
You should book a visual inspection for your VW Polo's cambelt if you notice any of the following warning signs:
Any of these warning signs could indicate a serious problem with your cambelt. To avoid endangering yourself, your passengers and other drivers, you should book an inspection to find out what's wrong as soon as possible.
There are several reasons why you might need to book a timing belt replacement, but the main cause is old age. Every timing belt has a distinct lifespan and it is likely to snap when it reaches this mileage.
Other reasons that you might need to book a cambelt change include:
While these problems can be caused naturally, an ineffective cambelt change can also lead to extra problems and expense. That’s why you should always choose a reputable garage for your replacement.
A cambelt change takes between 3-6 hours. The belt is buried deep within the engine and so isn’t very accessible for the mechanic. This means that the price of your timing belt replacement is mainly made up of labour costs.
