Need opinion for 100k maintenance. Going to dealer for 100k timing belt change. The dealer quoted two options with price quotes. $450 for just the belt change... or $900 for timing belt and pulley's...My question is this a scam or is it worth changing all the pulleys as well? the dealership is in Fairborne, ohio
Definitely change pulleys. The bearing lubricant dries out and eventually one pulley or another will seize and the resulting friction breaks the belt. Especially bad when it happens right after you paid for a new belt.
might be possible to find a soob-experienced indie shop near your city. Post a request for a mechanic in a new thread. You might save a little on labor.
I second what they said about the rollers. My toothed roller was very loose and slightly wobbly after 9 years but only 50K miles !
