VW ED30 Cam Belt change whats included?

[Tamiyoman]

Had a quote from VW for cambelt change of £419 just wondered exactly what is included as VW website does not tell you (Or I cant see it) and I DID search the forum first as I know there are lots, but none that answerred my question (I got bored after reading about 15 threads!!).

I got quote from my Indy who is including the following.

Cambelt, Tensioner, Rollers, Aux belt (I guess aircon/PS?), Water Pump and new eng bolts.

Does VW include all of the above or only include Cambelt and tensioner?

Sorry to be new thread over VERY old ground but as per above could not find answers!


Cheers

P.S. its due in May (4yrs old and has 40K) but may get it done earlier so I can go stage 1 earlier

VW include waterpump/cambelt/rollers/tensioners that's it.. usually £399.. but looks like they have added 20 pound on top..smh

also note the indy will probably not use genuine parts.. so somthing to consider

parts alone from VW inc waterpump(only if you give them your old waterpump) is around £210

Hi, the Indy uses genuine VW parts, he deals with TPS and is a massive VW man and has been looking after my cars for 16 years, I was only asking as he quoted me more than VW and on my last car it was £140 cheaper than at VW. He also said he could not find a Cambelt KIT listed for Edition 30 so quoted based on parts bought seperately, is there a KIT that I can point him to?

I am sure I read on a forum on here that the bolts must be changed too (3 of them I seem to remember).

The £419 price is what it says on VW servicing costs page on website under fixed price servicing, I think it used to be £399.

Looks like its going to VW then

Yes, I found that very few independents could match the cambelt change price from main dealers when I did mine last year.

WAIT!!!!!!!!

Can i offer a third suggestion? I had the cambelt done a few months ago on my Edition 30. I got the parts from Dave at SERE motors - all genuine oem with proper invoice. All the parts (inc water pump) were £180 delivered! My mechanic fitted the parts with new coolant for £110 - so a grand total of £290  .

Obviously, the biggest factor for you would be the labour cost of the mechanic.

hope this helps

Edit - forgot to mention. VW dont list a cambelt kit for the ED30 but Seat have one for the Leon Cupra R (i think) with all the parts complete. Dave knows exactly which one is the correct one for the ED30.

I did quite a bit of research for this exact thing when I was changing the cambelt and water pump. I was informed that my local main dealers VW and audi do not change the rollers just the tensioner. This came from an ex audi tech and a vw master tech that sourced that parts for me. I actually bought the rollers myself from tps because he didn't get them for me as he said not really worth changing them (I changed them anyway as I am pretty anal about these things!). I think this is why the main dealer price can appear to be such a good price.

Hi Rich, did the price of £180 include the rollers and the bolts also, if so might give him a call and speak to my Mech about labour costs for fitting them!, also was the Pump on an exchange basis? (send old one back?).

Cheers

Bloody hell!
My dealer quoted me over £500 for the cambelt service,last October,after the annual service.
I didn't ask what was involved,but I just imagined that it was the tensioner,rollers and belt.However,I was aware that it was a devil of a job and quite time consuming,but I put this down to removal of all the ancilliary parts.

My Bad, i quoted the wrong price  

For the cambelt kit and water pump it is £170 delivered (by parcel force).  

The kit contains:

Belt
Tensioner
water pump
2 secondary relay rollers

there were also a couple of bolts in the kit.

The water pump is on an exchange basis but only cost £3-£4 to send back.

You also get the proper 2 year VAG warranty as the parts are of course genuine with a proper invoice from the dealership.

Hows that sound?

Does anyone have the part numbers for all of the above bits for an Ed30?  Thanks.

DSG service was done in October when the previous owner had Mechatronics replaced under warranty, it clearly shows oil and filter replaced at same time
