HI there,

if there is no record of a belt being replaced do it now as it is well over due, if this belt fails there will be serious engine damage done.

Hi there,

It will take around 3 31/2 hrs plus the belt, as i live in Australia you will have to check local labour rates and ring a dealer for a belt price.
