A cambelt change is a labour-heavy job. The water pump is usually behind the belt, the tensioner is touching it, the idler is touching it. Most workshop hours go on access — not the belt itself.
Replacing the belt without doing the water pump and tensioners means doing all that labour again in 18 months when one of them fails. We won't quote belt-only on most engines for this reason. The proper job is the only sensible job.

Most older diesels have belts (rubber, replaced on interval). Most modern diesels have chains (metal, "lifetime" — except they're not). If you have a chain, the change isn't on a fixed interval — it's done by symptoms (rattle on cold start, fault codes, stretched chain on diagnostic). Chain jobs are bigger and pricier — see our timing chain replacement page.
Check the manufacturer interval — typically 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or 5–7 years. If you don't know when it was last done, it's worth checking. A snapped belt on most diesels means engine destruction.
