I think theres a difference in the job if its an AXX engine compared to the BPY? engine...

always worth alerting the garage to your engine code....think its something to do with the cover design.... (as usual light on facts me  :signLOL:)

Just spoke top Ridgeway in reading, they want £410 for the cambelt and £110 for the DSG oil/filter - I gave them the price from Stafford Audi for the cambelt and they are going to see if they can match it - Waiting for the phone to ring (with my fingers crossed) now...

wow, that's good value. Wonder if I can get an s3 as the loan car while the work is carried out? Guys, is the battery disconnected while the work is carried out?

Okay, so as well as doing the DSG work for £110, Ridgeway VW in Reading have now offered to do the cambelt for £299 - Which is a result, doesn't include the water pump, so just waiting to hear back on a price for that, but otherwise, very very pleased with that. My original quote (from Windrush VW in Maidenhead) was £725 and I've now managed to get this down to £409... Not bad at all!

My local indy garage quoted me the following yesterday:

timing belt inc tensioners: £65.13
water pump: £85.14
antifreeze: £24.99
Fitting: 114.94

Total: £290.20

Not bad I thought

My local dealer has a notice saying £250 for a cambelt change for all 2.0 FSI engines.... not sure if it includes all the bits you listed though.
