cambelt, tensioners and water pump...good price?

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

got a quote from a mechanic today for my cambelt, water pump and tensioners for £120 all genuine parts and by a VW mechanic does this sound reasonable?

Is that price fitted ? Sounds fantastic... i'd be happy paying that just for OEM parts !

£120 Lawrie? Snap his hand off!

I got mine done earlier this year - Timing belt, Waterpump and 60k service for £320 all in.

yeah that's including labour but not including the actual service...it's a friend of a friend of a friend and it'll be a done in the driveway job but at that price I am not complaining! going to get it booked in for my week off and that'll be it out the way

p.s Ross do you want me to ask if he'll do yours?

It was on the previous owners list of things to do but he never got round to doing it before trading it in as the car had only done 50k

great price,had mine done for £230 all in and thought i was doing well !!

 

[Veyron]

£180 for me, thought i had a good deal

 

[philje123]

Thought I had a good deal at £250 for cambelt, tensioner, water pump and coolant change.

Can't moan at that price! Snap his hand off!

Mine was also overdue. I couldn't find out if it had been done at 60 when it should but even if it had it was due again due to age.

£120 is the discounted price for VAG dealerships and registered traders. Always good to know someone who has a discount card

Is that for the water pump as well? although that should have a £30 refundable deposit on return of the old pump if i remember correct?

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Price breakdown is as follows

Belt £31.53
Tensioners £45.41
Water pump £33.98

Thinking at that price im as well getting the brake fluid done also?

I'm moving north!

gettin mine done next monday for 240 and they doin alternator belt as well, belts done 4k more then recommend and is a year older :-/

 

[smokeydominic]

mine was 250, good job but the mechanic left the coolant lid off and i did 800 miles with no coolant... suprised something didnt go bang

 

[Red Panda]

I paid £240 for mine inc fitting (Gates Cambelt Kit) with a full service and the mechanic used some weird looking coolant...I got him to change for G12++

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

It's going in on the 30th so well see how it turns out
