read about thermostats. https://www.nairaland.com/1788778/maintenance-tips-cars

a brand new thermostat should not be more than 5k and tokumbor 1-2k (considering its always thrown out)

Hi guys.
So here's the story, the timing belt of my car recently cut while I was driving and that cost me some buk, my mechanic said all the valves were broken and I had to change the top of the engine. Which he charged me 40k.
Two days later the engine knock, engine oil was alright, everything one could think of fine. He gave me this rooster n bull story about the radiator leak, if that was the case surely I would have seen it on the temperature guage.

Anyways now I have to buy a new engine and he says it cost 100k. Please nairalanders is this the cost and how do I know a good engine. Thanks.

Most toyota brand engine using timing belt recommend timing belt replacement at 80,000 mile. And subsequent changes are 60,000mile if you're pulleys aren't in good condition, they're supposed to be changed.

You didn't mention your engine type your car make, model and year of manufacture so we don't know how to go about proving if your mechanic is right or wrong with his price.

Sorry. I forgot to mention the car. It's a Peugeot 307. Thanks
