Timing belt

[1sam23]

How much am I looking to pay for the timing belt changing? Are they really awkward to get to to change myself? Cheers. Sam

I paid Around £45 for the kit (genuine Gates kit) and £25 for a metal water pump all from http://www.vwspares.co.uk/

I paid Jabbasport £140 i think it was to fit it all for me when they did my mapping

Was that with the damper berg? Gates are quality kits!

 

[Berg]

No i think it was an extra 20 quid for the damper
