^^^ It's 4 years or 60k miles, whichever arrives first. This is VW's advice.

Costs about £400, indy should be cheaper. Try to find a VAG specialist indy, not just any garage as it needs to be done absolutely correctly.

This, to the letter!!  :happy2:

Get it done ASAP, really ASAP.  From what you say, your on your original pump after 80k!! Price wise, £400 ish and your all sorted.

Just for info, I rang my local VW dealer today to price up a 4 yr service which is due anytime soon. My car only has 25k on so will hit 4yrs first. They told me as part of the fixed price servicing a major service was £259. Timing belt and tensioner would take it to £339 and worst case with water pump (which they said they would inspect and only change if necessary) would take it to £419.
