Hi all, I just dropped my 2005 Iveco Daily 2.3 turbo diesel, with 231000 Ks on the clock, off to have a service done. I havent had this long and this is my first service... They just rang me and said that the timing belt needs to be done.. that is since I have no idea if or when it was done in the past.
I'm just wondering if they are having a lend of me! (joking!) the cost along with the service will be $3,500!

I googled this and this looks like it should have been done in 2010.. is there a physical way of working out if it was done or should I just let them do it as a safe guard? ^o)

Do you know when it was last done?

I can't remember the mileage limit but the age limit is 5 years so could well need doing.

Now, I don't know the exchange rate/local labour etc but $3500 sounds a lot! I paid something like £300, its an easy job as the engine isn't sideways like a lot of vehicles, so they just need to take the radiator off and its all laid out in front of them. As a comparison, I'd expect to pay £300-400 for a set of four tyres. Perhaps get some quotes from elsewhere, truck specialists are a good place to start as they are a commercial vehicle.

Hi , If this is OZ Dollars , that's over £2000 , it's a rip-off. Cambelt change here in UK £200 - £400 , the service about £150 - £200.
Genuine Iveco belt for my 2.8 is under £50 , not sure about the tension price. But plan to do mine next month.
If you have a new truck that you have no service record for , change the belt and tensioner. I think belts for this engine are due around 120 -140,000 mls , or 5 years.

Hi from Adelaide, Australia.
I had a quote to replace my timing belt on my 2005 50c15 and it was $1035 (5 hours labour $550)
I purchased the belt, bearings (2) and tensioner for $300 and I will so it myself.
I'm looking for a little guidance. (I have changed timing belt on Toyota 4WD)

Still not done mine yet , but I think it's pretty straight forward. Sure someone on here said " remember to do-up the tensioner nut when tension has been set".
The genuine Iveco belts come with white marks on to help you time it correctly.

I'm watching this with interest, as I need to have my timing belt changed too. I'm wondering whether to try and tackle it myself, or get the garage to do it. Taking the radiator off is a bit daunting to me though!

Anyone have a run through of the exact steps needed to change the belt? I have the workshop manual but it says 'follow the steps for removing the engine' and no doubt that involves disconnecting more things than necessary just to change the timing belt.

Hope to do mine very soon , will take pic's when I do.
It doesn't look too hard. Remove front grill , then it's easy to get to the bits you need.
The hardest part is removing the crank nut , if you haven't a air wrench , then a socket on a breaker bar , wedge bar onto the ground ( remember which way the engine will turn) , crank engine with the key to turn engine over , turn off straight away. Used this method many times.

OK, pics will be great thanks. Do you need to remove the radiator? Sounds like you do in order to get to the crank nut?

My 2005 60 C 17 keeps konking out, took it to the menders and they are suggesting that there is miosture getting to the computer through the wiring loom, does any one else get this sort of problem, the first time it manifested itself was last year in all that wet weather but now its hot and dry and it still seems to be a problem.

I also have a 2001 35 S 11 which conked out 3 times today according to the driver, leave it a few minutes and try again and shes off again, we can half cope with this in rural areas but back in town its pretty annoying.

There is another thing with the truck and that is the rev counter stopped working could that be anything to do with the cutting out, or crank sensor?

Rev counters are normally linked to Crank/cam sensor. They normally don't fail , but start giving intermittent faults first. Not sure about the mk3 , but it would normally bring on a engine management light too .
