Cam belt change - aberdeen garage

Just thought i'd bring this up here too..

See this thread for details

http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-...l-chuffed.html (Well chuffed..!)

You can either supply parts yourself or get them to source but I found it a little cheaper getting myself.

Pretty decent and knowledgable servicing..

Good to hear. The only place I've heard about in Aberdeen so far is Kirkhill and they seemed pretty dear although not had any work done by them. I'll keep Amnycada in mind as it is a lot more convenient than Kirkhill as I live 5 mins from Pittodrie.

Re: Cam belt change - aberdeen garage

Hey I'm still here to do belts for another month you know, you source the parts Alfa Romeo Parts and Alfa Romeo Spares from EB Spares - Specialist Alfa Parts Dealers are best, and I'll fit them for £50 labour, any 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 TS or JTS (sorry no 105 BHP 147s), I'm in Lossiemouth and it's a nice drive up and the jobs only 2 hours.

Ask to speak with Dave Park, he will fill you in on his previous experience. He has worked on many types not just Alfa's. For something like a cam belt change and other general servicing and MOT I would say they are more than enough, for something like engine fault diagnosis (i.e getting computer hooked up and checking things) out I'm not so sure. In that case you may be better with kirkhill I understand they have the gear for it. You would have to ask him what he could do though he may be able to do that too. Around the corner from him are AWAutotec who can definately do that kind of fault diagnosis.

As far as my cam belt change the engine is running smooth as it ever was, if not better. Nice the variator got renewed too, so no diesely noise.

To err is human, but you need an alfa to really screw things up!

Re: Cam belt change - aberdeen garage

When I was back in Aberdeen for the summer I was surprised at the lack of Alfas in Aberdeen area - I guess not having a dealer close doesnt help

When I lived near Aberdeen I used to take my Sprint to a guy in Blackburn and then he moved further out near Huntly I think. He had the only rolling road in the area so was good for setting up the twin carbs and getting a power run

But that was a good few years ago now
