If you raise the hood and stand over on the passengers side, look down at the engine. In the belt area, you will see the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, etc. Behind and underneath all of that stuff, right on the front of the engine you may get a tiny glimpse of the top edge of the timing cover. It is bolted directly to the front of the engine block, and houses the timing chain. The water pump actually bolts to the front of the timing cover. According to the standard labor time guide, which is what we all use to determine how much to charge for a job, it is about a 12 hour job. That translates to about a day and a half of straight working time.
The replacing of a timing belt is, on average, $449. However, the range can be anywhere from $180 to $950 depending on the labor.
