Seems reasonable, I'd ask them to change the auxiliary belt as well if not already included. This should only cost you the cost of the belt as it has to come off anyway.

A couple of weeks ago my local Volvo main dealer quoted £185 for the job on my 97 V70 2.5, so yep, it seems reasonable.

Definitely get them to change the aux belt at the same time.

Cheers

That's cheap, I had mine done this week and it was £238 (that's cam belt and aux belt)

they did state that the auxillary belt would be at cost if it needed repalcing, dotn know the cost of the belt though?
