maharuf Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) First of all thank you for this discussion thread. I have the following piece of information to share regarding cost of timing belt replacement: I put my car in the workshop for 100K service which is covered in a PM contract this morning. The indicative price for replacing timing belt and spark plugs is around 3700 AED with an ongoing campaign discount and it is not covered by the PM contract thus I have to pay. regards, Edited September 15, 2018 by maharuf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) the cost should not go that up as @Barry stated earlier different driving styles result in difference in consumption of parts unless you have leaking valve covers plugs seals and cam and crank seals and all bearings and w/p shot Edited September 15, 2018 by shadow79 more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to go to a small garage, get the work done for a small price, tell nobody and keep the receipt to show to the next buyer that the work was done and keep the resale value up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maharuf Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 I am going to authorize the timing belt replacement job for the indicated price now. I have figured out that I am neither going to be screwed nor be robbed by the Mitsubishi workshop with the parts I am going to get replaced with that money. Anyways thank you for your inputs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the gentleman made up his mind to get the belt changed in Habtoor, much before the comments poured in. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
