« on: September 28, 2011, 03:10:24 pm »
When should i have this done? It's in at VW at the min and they have rang me to tell me that it needs doing.  Thye want £350 to do it though.  What is the going rate?

Thanks

Girlfriend had hers done at 43000 miles/4 years old. Belt and pump £330 using an indie garage and genuine parts (I think)
  Always change the pump at the same time as belt. Peace of mind for a few extra pounds

Most VW dealers do fixed price servicing, mine doesnt tho but haggled it! :wink:
think cambelt was £319 and with pump £399.

Soz can't find the link at the mo but its on VW website in servicing.  :smiley:
