    Hi,
    Will be getting this done soon. How much would it roughly cost?
    Garage quoting approx €550 + another €200 for the service. Quite a bit of money to be handing out in 1 go although I know the consequences for not doing it.

    €550 sounds a bit on the steep side tbh.

    Not bad at all from a main dealer if that includes the pump as well. In fairness the €200 for a full service the OP was quoted is standard enough too, for a gallon of oil and a couple of filters and a looksee there is quite a bit of fat in there but it is the going rate.

    Was that from a main dealer or an indepentant garage/mechainc? On an almost 5 year old car I would tend to get it done by a good reputable indepentant mechanic.

    the belt is on the rear of the engine and it(engine) has to be unbolted and dropped a bit to get at the bugger. So loads of labour time involved.
    My buddy was quoted €1100 by Hyundai main dealer for his 02 Santa Fe belt change + 50k mls service, after he nearly fainted he sold it on informing the new owner it needed changing. :eek:

    The Santa Fe workshop manual recommends removal of the engine to do the timing belt, even if your just loosening the engine mounts and trying to make room its not a nice job:mad:

    Correct......and its the same with the Tuscon.
    OP, €550 is a good price.....I was charged near €750 for a tuscon (just the Tb change,nothing else), I'd insist on Hyundai OEM parts too.
