Just had a call from vw, the water pump has gone which is warranty, but the tensioner was tensioned the wrong way so it needs a new belt and tensioner, so really the previous garage should be paying for this?

Just been speaking to my dad, he owns his own garage, he thinks they are trying to get a bit of money out of me, he said if you tension the belt the wrong way it would be touching the cover, are they trying to have me over here then?

VW are now saying its not warranty and i am liable to pay, my options are pay for a cabelt change or pay for them to put used parts back on, my arguements is that they stripped it without my authority, and did not take any photos of the over tensioned belt, they also told me 4 different stories about the tensioner, if they had phoned to gain authority from me i could have turned around and said no thats ok i'll pay the £90 diag charge and take it to the previous dealer to rectify, anyone have any advice on where i can go with this?
