Cambelt and Water pump replacement costs?

[CooptoCupra]

Hi!

Has anyone had their cambelt and water pump replaced recently on their Mk1 LCR and what sort of price did you pay? Just trying to weigh up the costs - i know it's going to hurt!

Any recommended garages in the Leicester area with good LCR experience?

I do know people who can do this for me but my mind says to have it done at a garage due to it being such a big job? Is that common sense?

Thanks all

Mine is booked in for tomorrow to have the cam belt etc done, I do need my clutch doing but rather look after the top end.

I was quoted 600 for non genuine and 800 odd for genuine from one place and 478 for genuine timing belt etc

I had my cambelt and water pump done 2 years ago. £320 for the lot and the replacement water pump has a metal impeller instead of the crappy plastic OEM one. That was at a vag specialist.

Thanks everyone, I've had a couple of quotes, one for £399 and one for £445 so they seem about right?

I bought mine From INA with water pump for £120. I will change the end of August when I go on holidays for my country as it will cost me nothing to change. I still have more than 10k miles for the service but will change all belts and all material.....
