Cambelt and Water Pump Cost to Renew
pudding:
Discounted from £1061?! Eh? :stupid: The price on VW's site is the price! Sounds like sales flobble from the dealer to make you feel like £789 is a bargain!
£190 for an oil change is also scandalous. It's a £40 job DIY :grin: That's for Quantum Platinum+ 5W40 and an OEM Mahle Knecht filter from ECP.
Lewo:
Even using Millers & OEM filter would be around £70 if you got the oil on sale price.
And this thread reminds me, I need to check when cambelt was done last!
Rado16v:
In the 12 years we've had ours I've always used the dealer as they were always competitive, once I took it to a Skoda dealer!
However late last year I took it to a specialist where it cost £560 Vs £789 at the dealer. Crazy pricing.
Lewo:
Yep it needs doing on mine.... :scared:
Any recent prices for AKS or Rtech?
pudding:
AKS are expensive so I wouldn't take it there personally.
Any old garage can do it. Engine mount bracket removal is the faffiest part of the whole job. Once you're ready to install the belt and pullies etc, an 8 year old could do it.
