« on: 04 April 2010, 15:17 »
Got a reminder for my cambelt to be replaced the other day.

How much can I expect to pay for this?

It all depends on where you get it done? It can be from £300 to 600 quid, make sure you get water pump done too. Shop around some on here might have one of those voucher's ??  :wink:

hey im lucky as im a mechanic myself not at a vw dealer but took me about 3 hours to do the belt and water pump vw mechanic should wap it out 3 hours no problems as they will work on them all the time.  :smiley: so labour cost will depend on how much they charge hourly and i got the belt and pump for 110+ vat but the rrp price on the invoice came to 170 + vat so depends on the dealer again.

Ive just had mine done 800miles or so ago! £410 (without w/pump) is the cheapest qoute i could get from a VW dealer :cry:

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!

Ring around afew places, and if you are not to concerned about a Stealer stamp in your book you will get it done for alot less than with your local Audi  :smiley:

I need mine doing, bought the car last year, its an 05 plate with 56 000 on the clock now,
Phoned Midland VW the other day for a quote and for the belt, tensioner, and water pump was told approx £360  :cry:
So got to save a few pennies and will do it in a month or so.
