Cost of parts to replace timing belt
Could someone please let me know what the approximate cost of all the necessary parts for replacing the timing belt in a 1991 318i? Also what I could expect to pay for labor if I were to take it to a garage? Thanks
|
318i's dont have timing belts, it has a timing chain.
|
that is where you are wrong if it has a M40 engine it has a timing belt and they where made form '87-'91
M42 was only made in the years 1990 and 1991 they had timing chain! but it is easy to tell the diff! is it a 4door or a 2 door? |
we didnt get the M40 in the US. Only the M10 and the M42
|
Most shops charge at least $60 an hour, some more...
|
**** I am lucky to live here in Iceland lol
it's around 35$ an hour :) |

The parts for the timing belt are around $35 but most people replace the waterpump while they are "in there" and that piece is around $60. |
Don't drink so I guess i win ;)
but anyways I repair everything my self :) lucky me I have a 500 sqft workshop and all the tools needed :) |
