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

very. I'm in the same situation just now, got a price today for cambelt, waterpump, brake fluid service and major service for £380 inc parts and vat.
£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

is yours not already done? You car is a 56reg is it not making it 5 years old, belt is due at 4 years
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

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?

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?

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
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++
vagtune in Aylesbury do it for 282 inc vat....
or 120 labour if u supply the parts...SERE does belt for 75 quid and water pump for 28....so about 100 parts.....so that 220 fitted...not bad?
