How much is it going to cost to get my 2003 Kia Rio cambelt replaced? It has 205021 kms on it.
Thanks.

The cambelt price will vary depending on the engine type and size - petrol or diesel. To replace the cambelt alone you can expect to pay around $600.00 from a dealer and possibly as low as $400.00 from a local workshop due to lower labour costs. But this price can quickly go up when you need to replace items such as the tensioner, idler pulley, water pump and coolant.

You should phone around and get some quotes to compare, check what it includes, and it is likely that the water pump will need replacing too.
