IIRC VW wanted £400

I paid £240 for belt kit inc tensioner and waterpump at a local garage using genuine parts

VW want £450 to do cambelt, tensioner, water pump on a 1.9TDi.
I doubt the 1.8T is much different.
Real world, real prices...

Non dealer prices are much better

Well the difference is they charge around £35 per hour, the local main Skoda dealer is £75

Around here the cheapest is 50 quid an hour plus VAT.
