So 200000kms just ticked over. Time for belts and water pump to be replaced.
Fixed price Ford servicing for belts $810. No price for water pump. So I go direct to Service centre for quote. 1. quote $1600+ for belts me: that can't be right Ford Fixed is $810 dealer: yes you are right $810 me: Ok. how much for the water pump dealer: $1700+ me: that can't be right, you basically have to loosen the water pump to take off the belts, I was expecting 30min labour+ part cost dealer: Ok. $600 2. Ultratune me: belts and pump quote please UT: $1175 me: sweet. book it. wait. does that include the pump? UT: pump will be extra $390-440 me: what? if ford is $810 for belts, how can you be $1175? UT: we include seals, tensioners and pulley's, ford don't. me: Don't have $1600. Cancel please. How hard is it?

So according to Ford Australia, the Ford service centres compete against one another for business.
This means that various items may or may not be included in the fixed price servicing. An individual quote from each dealer can be requested and the exact items and costs to be included can be requested, but the price may vary. Kicking Ford servicing to the curb. |

Wonder if Ultratune would install customer supplied parts? The kit is approx $185 from the UK (for the MC TDCi) plus an accessories belt ($60??), coolant and labour It took me two days to do myself, but I'm not a mechanic and dont have access to a hoist. The timing gear lockup kit was another $50 or so

have a quote from Transtate Tyres in Tuggeranong for $1175 belts and pump through Autoguru. I specified must include seals, pulleys and tensioners.
Its about what I expected to pay, so will probably go with them. The breakdown was $220 pump $955 for belts. I was not happy so emailed Ford telling them the story. Apparently a case mgr has been appointed, so will follow up with that as well. #keepingthebastardshonest also winged about the funny noises in my new transmission Last edited by Faolan; 06-03-2019 at 11:13 AM. |
