A little friendly advice required please.
A service is due on my 147 and we were aware that the cam belts would need
replacing and the cost would be quite high. I dropped it off at the dealers
today (Caledonia-Warrington) and when I called to find out when it would be
ready, they said there was another problem that needed fixing. Something
called a "variant" ??
Now I know the basics of cars mechanics, but this is a new one for me. As
it will increase the service price by approximately £300, to over £700 (!!)
I would like to know exactly what this part is and why the hell it is so
expensive. They told me it could be done when the cam belt is changed so I'm
presuming it's to do with the timing.
Any info will be much appreciated.
