Last time I had a major service the cost was £400 so I'm assuming they are charging around £600 for the cambelt. This is a bit more than I was expecting, but has anyone else had this work done and, if so, what were you charged?

Thanks.

I followed advice on here and avoiding the dealer for a service and going to my local garage. A third of the Volvo quoted cost.

Cheers

Curious about the cost of this too.

Just had my 5 year service done (original 5 year pack), I suspect next year is "the biggie" - my mileage will still be under 90k, so I will be looking into this next summer.

As well as an indie Volvo specialist in Leicester (most likely choice - I do know them), there do appear to be a couple of garages who seem to specialise in cam belt changes (eg, https://www.timingbeltsrus.co.uk !!)
I wonder if that makes their work any better....
