done the same as Patch, got all the bits from VWSpares.co.uk and my mate is doing it all for me, £50  :cool:

How many hours labour does fitting a new belt kit equate to?
About 4 hours outside his house with me stood about chatting,i'd guess around 2 hours if he did it at work with power tools and on a ramp.

I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I'm more than able to do the lot myself, always have done on all my cars, but its previous history stops at about 60k ish and nothing till i bought her, so id prefer vw to give it a once over and that way anything nasty can be picked up by those who know. and id like to keep the value up by main dealer service and work. I'm also at that point in my life where i just dont have the time to muck about under bonnets, as i have a kiddy id rather be playing with! yes its alot of money i guess, a quarter what i paid for it! but hey ho, i want it done.
