Mitsu 2.5 cam belt replacement cost?

[edwinchester]

My local main dealer is quoting over 19k bht for replacing the cam belt on my 2.5 Triton which seems high to me. Any recent experience from anyone who has had theirs replaced recently re the cost?

Thanks.

[In Full Agreement]

The cost quote from the dealer is reasonable but have you checked with independent mechanics?

19,000bht for a belt change at 100,000km, wow, my Toyota Vigo was I think 6000bht at 150,000km.

Thankfully the new 'Vigo', the Revo, has a timing chain...

 

It seems on your ride the belt is a pain to access and replace, hence the cost.

In 2013 a 2.5 belt change was 9.5k.

...and in 2003 it may have been B2.5k.   But, so what?

The dealership is taking the <deleted>.

The price will not have doubled in 9 years.

I'd ask for a cost breakdown.

Bluespunk, may I ask what is confusing about my post, I may be able to help you out with a better explanation......????

I only know the prices in Europe for the 2.0 L

Changing the timing belt on the Mitsubishi L 200 costs about 730 € and 1005 €.

Just for reference !

Thanks very much for all the replies.

After reading the post above about it costing 9500bht in 2013 I checked through my service book and found it cost just over 9k 7 years ago which is why I was surprised that it's more than double that now.

I'll try and find a good independent to see what they're charging I think.

Local shop price about 3000--5000 baht work time

Try a Cockpit outlet or a B. Quik outlet.

We are lucky to have a a great knowledgeable Cockpit in Sukhothai if there's anything they cannot do they will point people in the right direction, that it has never happened to me with any of my vehicles but I know they change belts.

In 2019 I paid 16k for the timing belt change, 100k service and to fix an oil leak - from a local Mitsu main dealer and I queried every cost before I agreed. From memory originally it was more.

 

I also had a thread on here where many people chipped in with advice.......In the end I decided not to take any chances as no real recs for an independent service that I could trust.

 

If the OP has had it done before you have presumably done another 100k kms?

Should have bought a Toyota pickup...6000bht at 150,000km, but now they have a chain.......????

Test drove both and preferred the Mitsu at the time.

I have been very happy with it apart from that which I was unaware of at the time of purchase.
