hi, new member so i hope i`m posting in the right area.

today my alternator belt snapped causing loss of power steering, i was just wondering if anyone knew how much this would cost to repair and if it would have caused any underlying damage?

Welcome to Briskoda. I have moved your post to the Superb forum where it is more likely to receive a reply.

It shouldn't have damaged anything seriously, might have caught a couple of tensioners.

As for prices, I don't know - I've not had mine done yet. I Suspect it may be a bumper off though.

Perhaps Lummox or Rotodiesel could help? Unless someone has had it done.

Welcome to Briskoda

You can change it by removing just the undertray, but its a bit tight. Should only be half an hours labour and the price of the belt, so around £50 all in at Skoda dealer I reckon.

Where abouts in the country are you, as we might be able to recommend someone to do it for you

thankyou, i live in doncaster there is a skoda dealer but i don`t really know how good they are

Hayseldons? I;ve had not very good reports about them.

I'd get the cambelt inspected at the same time as if the alternator belt has snapped it wasn't in great condition.

The cambelt is every 4years or I think 60k on the suberb. Worth getting it checked though as if it's not in great condition and goes then it will be a very big bill.

thanks for all the advice guys just thought i`d let you know that the cost of repair was £80 which also included a new a/c belt.
