Title: Where to buy mk4 timing belt kit?
Post by: rob249 on 19 February 2012, 15:03

Having hit the 90,000miles mark and recent problems last few days I think its time to get on with making sure the timing belt gets changed, between me and my old man and a mate we will be able to do it hopefully, but are the kits on ebay that are say £65 ok for the job???????

Cheapest place was TPS for me, use GTI club discount. Everything was included.

I would go with genuine, is it a 1.8t if so replace the water pump as well.

No its a 2.0 8v, by genuine do you mean from vw parts direct?
