Spoon_tuned Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Got quoted £90 to fit new crank seal on my glanza which i thought was reasonable they rang today and said it's actually £162 which i thought ok thats not too bad Then the other mechanic said we got to take of the cambelt which is an extra hour or so.Which took it to £269 wtf.And to have the cambelt alternator belt and seal done was £729 ohh my god!!.So i said i'll leave it and do it myself what a joke. And JAE is Thursday so i just bought a 1L top up of oil just incase it gets worst.FUCKING JOKE THESE CARS!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet__SR Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 oh wow that escalated quickly..the part is what £14? them labour costs are high, but it can be a bitch of a job I wouldnt want to do one lol The crank seals are actually a doddle. Its just all the faffing about with the timing belt and crank pulley etc. Plus if you've got it off, it would be silly to not replace it.Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spoon_tuned Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 That was at toyota don't really want anyone else touching it tbh. I'm gonna do it myself after JAE and replace timing belt oil pump water pump and crank seal whilst its all off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'd aim for a specialist, my experience with main places like that (even Audi and BMW) is that they just throw apprentices at jobs like that, pay a fortune for it when the bloke doing the work ain't even trained yet.

daniel_g Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I can confirm that ^^^^^ When replacing the crank seal on the timing side you'd be silly to use all the old shit so replacing the lot will be expensive. Toyota labour is about 80 odd quid an hour at my local branch so you can see how it all mounts up. Do it yourself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
