Cupra R 5th Year Service and Cambelt in Slough

[kwan88]

Dear All,

My 2003 Cupra R which has only done 27K is due for its 5th year service and mot soon. As I still have the Seat Warrenty, I have to go to Seat any ideas on the Price?

Furthermore do you think I should get the cambelt and water pump changed? If I use a metal improller for the water pump, do you think that thw warrenty will be void?

I was also one of the ones that brought those Galfer pads that left lots of grooves on my disc, obviously I still have those pads and the orginal discs. Will the mot fail because of the number of grooves?

Regards,

Koi.

Yes - if you get the cam belt done, get the water pump done. I just paid around £300 at Skoda in Sheffield for both doing. Seems odd to do them at 27k, but given the age I probably would.

If you do decide to use an independant garage let me know who you use as I'm in slough too

you dont have to go to a seat garage if you use seat parts.
as for the water pump, if it would invalidate any warranty then it would only be the water pump. I presume the warranty will run out soon anyhows?

I'm also interested in who you use around Slough. I end up taking mine down to Camberley every time I need something done.

I'm in High Wycombe and now use some chaps in helney. Vag Tecnhiques between henley and reading. I dunno if that's near you guys.

There was AVIT in Slough that was recommended to me, Anyone used them?

27k and a cambelt and pump change already? surely not yet!

27k and a cambelt and pump change already? surely not yet!

But the car is five years old. The general rule is 5 years or 60k, which ever comes first, isn't it?
