Time's approaching for a cambelt change on my 1995 Cavalier. Engine's a
Thanks.
I paid £300 (independent garage; expensive labour but the only mechanic I trust!) but that was including a new water pump - £60 or so plus coolant - so your £195 seems about right. BTW I got the pump changed as a precaution - if the new belt disturbs the pump and it starts leaking, you're looking at getting the whole lot taken apart again. Don't know how many parts there are to the cambelt, a Vx dealer will tell you.
Happen to me ! Same car, same engine. New cambelt, a short while later water pump starts leaking. New belt again !!!

I would change the rollers & tensioner at the same time. Vauxhall do a kit now and it is reasonably priced so get them to use genuine Vauxhall parts.
Water pump at the same time isn't a bad idea.
