R TUNE Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 no run in period for any belt on a car mate. the only things that realy need to be run in are, a fresh eng or grear box and brake pads Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/170560-just-done-my-major-service/#findComment-3149308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

made_guy Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 gates racing belt $110coolant $30 fan, alternator, waterpump belt $50 idler, tensioner, cam seals, front crank seal $260 labour $100. was a friend who done it for me so i got that part cheap so yea i got away with it for $550 hey man, what part numbers did you use for these? they're 3 different belts right? did you do the power steering belt too? only reason i ask is i'm probably gonna get lube mobile to do my 100km service and just supply all the parts (a workshop quoted me $600 for the labour). I just want to have everything there ready to fit. Will probably also take out the radiator etc for the guy to save money (he can put it back for me though ) just don't want to have to guess with things like the timing and tension and don't have a harmonic balancer puller.

typevu Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 My major service is coming up as soon as the car is out of compliance... got about $800-$900 in parts/fluids ready to go in.

How long did it take to get the whole service done?? Did you get the car back the same day?? it's usually less than a days work. actually no more than 4 hours for a mechanic (tops) otherwise you'd have to question their skill level. but that's just for a fluids, belts, water pump, idler bearings etc change. if you add in extra stuff it'll take longer obviously.

LatinR33 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Just got a response from Lube mobile they said this. Its a little bit excessive I think. "In response to your e-mail, the labour to perform the 100 000km Log Book Service (Including fitting your Water Pump, Timing Belt and Tensioner). is only $588.20" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/170560-just-done-my-major-service/#findComment-3214577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
made_guy Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 that's pretty good! all lube mobile did was tell me is: LM "To get a mechanic onsite to do this for you you would be looking at our minimum charge of $132.80 for the first 45 minutes and $99.80 per hour thereafter." ME "Any indication of how long this type of job would take?" LM "The mechanic will be able to give a better indication onsite." which i thought was pretty lame, but they called me after i said "why not just put those prices on the website then!?" and she said I wouldn't have to pay for anything if he came out and gave a quote that I wasn't prepared to accept.

weSky Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I wouldn't have to pay for anything if he came out and gave a quote that I wasn't prepared to accept. Thats the good thing You know about the work I had done, which he completed at 7:30 last night. The "worst case" quote he gave was $2500, I ended up paying $2400. This was the major (all fluids, flush, belts [timing etc etc], tuneup, clutch and brake master, new plat plugs and gapping, a few hoses, and so much more I couldnt list but just think " the major of major services lol), steering pump, 2 x Nolathane castor bushes, fuel lines (f'ing thinks were ripped up and leaking everywhere haha - why i drove it like this, I dont know haha), wipers, 02 sensor, water pump. Plus they gave me 2 x $30 vouchers for my next service haha.
