Cam belt and water pump ??

[andymac123]

Hi ... I'm due for the big bill at Xmas for a cambelt and water pump change... The question is. . Would you take it to a seat dealer or take it to a vag registered business who has a vw/seat/Audi stamp ? Not quite sure on the cost saving as of yet but I'd imagine it would be a big saving

Not sure what to do

Are Seat not doing a fixed price cambelt changes for £299 including vat just now?

+1 for that

Not necessarily since sometimes the main dealers offer special fixed prices for cambelt changes. But with a VW specialist you know they'll do a proper job. I've used a local specialist for a few years now, both for my previous A4 and now for my Exeo.
The Exeo's going nowhere near a Seat dealer unless it needs warranty work!.

ive got a few friends who have worked for specialists or still work for them

My two local SEAT dealers tend to have lots of apprentices working there... i know they have to learn somewhere but not on my LCR

Got my cam belt and water pump done last month after some haggling the seat dealer agreed to do both for £350 which I thought was reasonable
