I got a Kent cam that's listed for the mk4 2.0 8v.

It went straight in my AGG and made a massive improvement

Seals and gaskets. My engine had only done about 30,000 miles when I changed it so that's all I done.

About £300 I think mate, all in.

Make sure you get new lifters then. Think mine has bit more than that.
