When does my cambelt need doing ?

[scottm72]

Mine is booked in with Corkills VW in Wigan (NW) tomorrow. £399 for everything. Tried telling it was an extra £70 for the water pump and fitting too but after saying that is overpriced and not what the VW website shows and they said no problem. Oh and they're collecting my car from my house and dropping it off even though I live out of their 'local' radius.

cool, cant beat that

I'm getting mine done as a priority and the best qoute I have is £300 but that means travelling to Doncaster. Bit sketchy I know. However, working out fuel etc, it's still cheaper to travel there than any deal/indy i've got qoutes from. I wonder if VW would match the £300? Probably not.

If you can get a quote from them and they are using genuine parts VW should match the price..  Got to be worth an ask!

Ohhh, it is using genuine VW parts! I will give them a ring as my dealers only a few miles down the road. Doncaster is good few good miles!!

I see the VW website says they'll price match within 5 miles which means this could potentially not work but I'm gunna try anyway.

To be honest I don't know 100% but its not a dealer. Vagco.co.uk - guy called Simon. Had some excellent reviews from mates and indeed people on here.
