What changes the price

On the Dacia Duster, access takes on average 5% less time than the average for its class (family car, suv), where the range is £680 – £1,770.

A chain has no replacement interval, but some engines are known for early stretch (VW 1.4 TSI EA111, BMW N47). A rattle on cold start is the typical sign.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a timing chain kit dacia duster cost?

At an independent garage, expect £665 to £1,715, parts and labour included. Main dealer: £940 – £2,835.

What is book time?

It is the reference time set for a given job. Garages bill that time even if they work faster. If a quote shows far more hours than book time, ask why. Dacia Duster: 5.5 – 11.5 h.

Why is the dealer more expensive?

Dealer hourly rates run 40 to 60% higher on average, and genuine parts cost more than their original-equipment equivalents. Under EU rules, servicing outside the dealer network does not void the manufacturer warranty.
