Well, if the belt or tensioners fail, the car is history, so we have that to think about. Parts from Eeuroparts are close to 400 bucks for two new tensioners, idler pully, belt, waterpump and new antifreeze. A shop will add something to this price, they have to make a living too. I understand it's a do-able job for the backyard mechanic, but not for the inexperienced, there must be a write-up on this site or someplace on the web. IMHO another thousand bucks for parts mark-up and labor is too high, but don't expect 2 or 300 either. I have a 2.3 non-turbo four so I havn't had to think too much about this job, maybe someone who has done it can chime in,
Good luck,
John
