Quick answer
Onyx Autocentre in Slough replaces cambelts, tensioners, idlers and water pumps as a full kit using OE-quality parts, torqued and timed to manufacturer specification. Service book stamped. Call 01753 439115 or WhatsApp 07393 580281.

Cambelts are the one job nobody should put off. If the belt snaps on an interference engine (which is almost all of them now), the valves hit the pistons and what was a few hundred quid of maintenance becomes a scrap engine. At Onyx in Slough we fit the full kit: belt, tensioner, idlers, water pump. Doing the belt without the pump is asking to have the dash off again in two years when the pump bearing collapses.

Why book cambelts with Onyx in Slough?

  • Full kit including water pump. belt-only jobs are false economy.
  • OEM-approved parts. matched to your engine code, not 'fits most'.
  • Locked at TDC. with manufacturer locking tools. No chancing it by feel.
  • Same-day on most cars. Polo, Fabia, Astra, Focus, Corsa, Berlingo, C3, 207, Yaris.
  • Spread over 6 months. interest-free up to £3,000. First instalment at booking.

How we change a cambelt properly

The job people don't see is the prep. Right kit for the right engine code (a 1.6 TDI has three different cambelt setups depending on year and BlueMotion spec), locking tools on the cam and crank before anything moves, marking the old belt against the new one before fitting to double-check tooth count, tensioning to manufacturer spec with a proper gauge, then turning the engine over by hand for two full revolutions to confirm everything still lines up before the starter ever sees it. That's how a service-interval job stays a service-interval job, instead of turning into a scrap engine.

We see a steady run of TDI Golfs from Hayes, 1.6 HDi Berlingos and Partners from the trades around Colnbrook and Poyle, Ford 1.6 TDCi Focuses from Maidenhead, and the occasional Honda Civic 1.7 CDTi which is its own special kind of awkward. Whatever yours is, send us the reg and we'll check the book interval against your actual mileage. Rubber perishes by age as well as miles, which is why a 60,000 mile car that's eight years old still needs the belt done.

If yours hasn't been done and you're not sure when it was last touched, get it checked. Five minutes off M4 J5, same-day on common engines.

Don't risk a snapped belt and a four-figure engine bill. Call 01753 439115 or WhatsApp 07393 580281.

"Highly recommend this garage. After contacting a few other garages who didn't want to take my car in for diagnostics, these guys were happy to help. They diagnosed and fixed an engine fuel leak issue professionally and efficiently. Great service and very reliable. I'll definitely use them again."

Cambelts. Frequently Asked Questions

How much for a cambelt and water pump?+
Depends on the engine. Small petrols are at the cheaper end, big diesel V6s sit higher because the work is longer. WhatsApp your reg to 07393 580281 for an exact figure with OEM-approved parts.
My car's only done 50,000 miles, does it really need doing?+
Probably yes if the schedule by age is up. Manufacturer intervals are mileage OR years, whichever comes first. An eight-year-old belt has lived through eight summers of underbonnet heat regardless of miles.
Will you stamp my service book?+
Yes. Cambelt change recorded with date, mileage, parts fitted and our workshop stamp. Recognised by the next garage and protects resale value.
What's a wet belt and is it the same job?+
Different thing. Wet belts (Ford EcoBoost 1.0/1.5, PSA 1.2 PureTech, some Vauxhall 1.2/1.4) run in oil and have shorter intervals. Different parts, different procedure, similar urgency. We do them too.
How long does the job take?+
Most common engines in a day, on the ramp by 8, off by 5. Some VAG V6s and BMW chains run into two days.
Do you cover my area?+
Yes. Cambelts in every week from Slough, Langley, Colnbrook, Hayes, West Drayton, Maidenhead, Uxbridge, Burnham, Datchet and Windsor.
