Does anybody know how much it would cost to replace and fit a cambelt for a L reg Fiat Punto and how long would it take? Thank You.
 
Depends on the shop, It also depends on how fast the engine was working when the belt broke. I don't recall if this is a NE (Noninterference engine) engine or not. if it is an NE the cost will vary depending on the labor of the shop and the cost of parts, average price for a timing belt is around 200 to 300 dollars. If it is an interference engine, you may want to have the shop scope the cylinders to check to see if the valves and pistons are intact. if not, you need to have a new engine.
 
Might be cheaper to pick up an engine in a breaker's yard after finding out if the pistons and head have to be changed.
