Title: Cam belt and water pump
Post by: iMation on 01 March 2008, 16:17

now then all.

Well the mk4 has just done 65k and defiantly in need of a Cam belt change, so i went to a local garage and got a quote for the belt change and water pump to be done at the same time.

£215

This a good price or am i being taken for a mug?

regardless its booked in because it needs doing! (just so i know not to go there next time)
