Cambelt replacement reminder

[jaydubveedub]

The Audi price includes the service also though. Cambelt change is £249

Is that Listers Stratford, Western Road in Stratford? (link below) I need the cambelt doing on mine and this is local for me. Is the £249 a special offer and does that include the water pump?

So i ended up getting it done with Vag-tech in MK, an independent vag specialist for £350, that included w/pump, tensioners, and coolant change!

How do you rate VAG tech? What was the service like?

Sorry stafford audi mate.  Its about an hr from me but worth it for the price.  They advertise on ebay of all places.  View their shop it has all their servicing prices.  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380075065026&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Vag-tech in lieghton buzzard, near MK are a brilliant bunch of guys, very knowledgable, friendly and very reasonable price wise!

Have used them twice now for mods and servicing etc.

They specialise in HGA turbo conversions on R32's TTs and the like.

They also have an insane courtesy car! a little polo lol

Phoned my local VW (Advantage Volkswagen, Stirling) today and have been quoted a price of £400.35.

I never asked if this included the water pump (but judging by marty341's price, it wont) will call back tomorrow to find out.

I have a mate thats a mechanic, I might ask him to do it, although I would miss out on the stamp. Do you think it is worth paying the extra, going to a VW dealer and getting the stamp, for when the time comes to sell the car?

I queried this at the weekend at my local VW dealer and was quoted £280 for a cambelt replacement with all the parts and tensioners.  Asked about doing the water pump at the same time and was told there was no labour, just the cost of the part, which is about £30.  So £310 I thought wasn't too bad.
