Is this price right for a timing belt replacement?
My 2010 Peugeot 5008 has 108,000km on the clock and I have been advised by the dealer that the timing belt and water pump need to be replaced. This will cost €800-900 on top of the service. This seems to be a lot of money. Would this be correct?

Hi Mike,
I must admit that sounds very very expensive. You should ask them to itemise the price for you, as the parts themselves really shouldn't be that costly. It would be interesting to know how many hours labour and the hourly rate they charge. You should also shop around before telling them go ahead. Ring a few other garages to get a price for it.
