Honestly I would not use service parts from euro I know it's more expensive but I only use Oem parts from ether VW or TPS.

Usually VW offer a discount if you are buying all your service parts from them. And I know they supply and fit cam belts for about £339 on a golf.

ECP stock some quality parts, most of the stuff I buy from there is Bosch.  I agree you get what you pay for, so don't buy the cheapest version of a particular part  :grin:

No idea.  Waterpump and cam belt is something I always get a garage to do.

As said get oem parts mate. Belt and waterpump is not something you want going just because you saved few quid :wink:

I use eurocarparts too. Good stuff but when comes to engine parts cant get better then dealer stuff
