07 400h cambelt

Recommended Posts

The 400h I recently purchased has receipts with it and one of them is for a timing belt and water pump change but it's dated March 2018.

Back then the belt was £160 and the pump was £78 with labour cost of £195 so if you can apply inflation to that total of £433, plus the dreaded VAT, then I hope it might be of help.

Great input Rowley 👍. How you getting on with yours? Missing the is250 by any chance?

Yes Vlad, the Intelligent Sports was driven away under new ownership today and I was quite sad ...

BUT, upwards and onwards, the Radiant Crossover is my baby now and it is steadily gaining my innermost affections. ☺️

I've been in touch with local lexus dealers and first of all they booked it in for cambelt 795 Inc and after asking a few questions  I realised waterpump was not included.  So on the phone I got  answer was well its not necessary to replace waterpump everytime.   I'm not happy , so suggesting that it's the norm to replace all while apart . Answer I got was we will do that for you sir , oh good that's better . The cost will be 400 +   it take an extra 1.5 hrs  so total being 1100 quid .  MORTIFIED  is the word

So you've phoned a lexus dealer. Have you tried a Toyota one? Have you searched independent Lexus or Toyota specialists? 

As for water pump. I thinknit was irresponsible of the dealer to say that about not needing to change the water pump. 1.5hrs extra? They're taking the wee wee. More like a 10 minute job if that.

Yea totally agree but the garage that I normally trust cannot do the job because of special tools needed so not alot of choice 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can you use one you do not normally use then?

A Toyota Indy sounds a good choice to me.

Well I've made a few calls and I ended up booking with another garage to the tune of £680 all in and they will collect and return if necessary. So lexus can go swivel

A question for you Les. I've noticed that there is a very large gap between the last line of your posts and the end of the box it goes in. The question is when you come on the site have you experienced that there is an overlay i.e. another page covers a page you want to read?

Ok.  I was only wondering because of the huge gap between your last line and the bottom of the box you write in.

I had the same but also page on page. Found out its the VPN in my zonealarm security.

Little bit of poetic justice on my cambelt change , lexus garage phoned today Hello Mr blackaller I see you've cancelled  any particular reason sir .  Yes I said you've priced yourselves out of the market by £430 and you wasn't even going to collect or deliver  , oh well if you need us at any point don't hesitate  I chuckled and said thankyou
