The cost if the timing belt part and labor will float around the 500.00 mark if it was routine maintenance service. Seeing how this is an interference engine, damage to head, valves and/or pistons may have occurred at which point cost will be contingent upon the severity if the damage. Price may be around the 1200.00 mark give or take. At this point it would be a good idea to weight your options.

If it didn't ruin the engine it could run $300 and up.

    most cases with kia engines it is more cost effective to just get a used engine and put it in but change the timing belt, water pump and tensioner on it before it is installed.

SOURCE: 2004 KIA Optima LX timing belt/water pump

The thing is your doing the timing belt the water pump is right their with it . it should cost you much more at all besides the cost of the water pump. When doing a timing belt I have a rule that I go by The timing belt/seals =cam , crank , any pulley & tensioner & water pump all get replaced at the same time. I did a t-belt on a Audi A-8 very complex whole front of car has to come off as well, he didnt want to do w-pump & thermostat his thermostat was their as well not even a month later the water pump gave out he had to pay double the price because he didnt want to do it when I had it apart the first time. And make sure mechanic is ase certified . good luck

SOURCE: how much is cost to replace the timing belt of a

it really depends on the engine (l4 or v6) and where you are. california orices i would say around $450 -$600(private or dealer and L4) - $800-$1000(private or dealer v6). it is not a very complicated job, however if you screw up you can bend valves so timing and information IS critical for a do it yourself er. since i believe you are talking about an overseas model the engines should be about the same and prices "close". cheers

My 2004 Kia optima shut off will driving. It cranks but doesn't want to start up. Can any body help me?

Well , it's probably missing one of three thing's , spark , fuel or compression ! Now you need to find out which one , pull a spark plug wire an hold a screw driver in the end of the plug wire an hold it close to ground an have someone crank the engine over ! don't hold the screw driver by the metal , you don't won't to get zapped . If there is spark spray some carburetor cleaner into the engine at some point ,vacuum hose ,air intake , the throttle plate would be best , there is usually a black tube going from the air filter box to the engine ! A couple of clamps holds it on , take it off an the engine side you should be able to see the throttle plate ! If it tries to start after spraying carb. cleaner in , you have a fuel delivery problem ! Fuel pump relay , fuel pump driver module or the fuel pump it self is bad ! Now if you have spark an sprayed carb. cleaner an it did not try to start you need to check engine compression ! The timing belt may have worn enough for it to jump time a little causing it to be out of time ! Back in the 80's the little cogs on the belt would wear off an the cam shaft wouldn't turn . Back then it was easy to check by taking the distributor cap off a see if it would turn while cranking the engine !

How much does a timing belt cost? and what could I expect to pay the mechanic on a 2002 Kia Rio Cino

The timing belt is not the big cost,if the belt has broken while you where driving the car the you may need to spend up to $3000 dollars to repair the damage caused by a broken belt.If your belt is not broke and you have over 50000 miles then get it replaced,expect to pay about $600-$900.This is dependant of labour rates and problems occurred during the repair,your price may be lower.
