    Just wondering what whats the avg price for timing belt and water pump change on a 08 vauxhall vectra 1.9cdti? i rang one opel dealer he said about 530?though it was a bit expensive,just wondering if its around that or would it be better to go to a smaller garage or even another main dealer?

    The 1.9cdti is belt alright.

    Its due every 150k or 10 years though, have you hit 150k on a 4 year old car?

    They should double check their info. The interval is 150,000km or 10 years as the Nissan Doctor says above. So you are fine for now.

    vectra cdti 120bhp timing belt is due change 100,000miles OR fours years since last change, which ever comes 1st!!

    hot and cold conditions over 4 years does not bode well for a belt.
