Full service + cambelt
« on: 01 May 2009, 21:16 »
Obviously it will vary from place to place but how much is the above going to set me back, just brought a 1996 gti 16v and want to get it done, live in plymouth

Thanks

I didnt fully trust myself to do the cambelt and forked out just under £140 for the cambelt and tensioner to be changed (including parts obviously) on my valver.

you can get parts online from
http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/Car-Parts      or     http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

why not get yourself a haynes manual and do the service yourself?
save money and its really not that hard 2 do  :smiley:
