my mate at works has a 1.4 16v x reg fabia, last week the timing belt and tensioners had to be replaced at 55,000 miles

i have the same model,engine and year.

my car has done 48,000 miles so i'm a little worried.other then the timing belt are there others belts (fan belt,cam belt etc),so i could replace them at the same time ?

it cost my mate about

the 16v has two cambelts both need to be changed.

Have a look at the alternator belt, if its cracked replace it.

2 cambelts.blimey

so 4 belts (timing,2 cams and alternator)

thanks

timing belt and cam belt are the same thing

timing belt and cam belt are the same thing

lol,guess will be cheaper then i thought.

so 2 timing/cam belts and 1 alternator belt = 3

I'd get the waterpump replaced at the same time too. It's driven off the cambelt, if the bearings sieze in it, the cambelt could snap. Wise move to have the pump replaced whilst the belt is being done.

Never had a 1.4 water pump go but why not if your feeling flush.

i hope to get it done early next year so i have time to save up.how much will it all cost me ???

with and without the unbreakable water pump lol

When I had a 16V Polo, same engine as Fabia I believe, it cost me about £400 a couple of years ago.
