I dont know if this has been ASKED BUT I require a water pump, cam belt and tentioners for my 2.8 crd. Chrysler uk want about 600 quid, can i buy them form another supplier.
Thanks for looking

 

£600 for the parts only....are you sure? Sounds like a quote to do the job too!

Having said that, the parts are not cheap. I bought a chrysler cam belt kit (belt, 2 idler pulleys and gasket) from a chrysler shop on ebay for £140. They could supply a tensioner for £80 and a water pump is another £170.

I'd say unless it has failed, replacing a water pump on a 2008 car as part of a cam belt change is overkill unless it has done galactic miles.

Just as an aside, I believe the interval on the 2006 onwards diesels is 100,000 miles or 8 years....what mileage has it done?

 

Thanks for the response. Mileage 94000
yes the bits were £578.00 +labour
After a bit of research i found that the chrysler engines are built by an Italian company called VM Motori.
Have found the sole supplier in the uk, these are called JNL engineering

I've also found www.vmdieselspecialist.com/ very helpful in the past.

Are you doing the job yourself?

 

No, I have a good mechanic.

 

Good. The water pump is a pig of a job on the CRD.
