best place and price in the northeast to get a cambelt done?

[billyjo76]

looking to get my cambelt done on my ed30 sometime soon,  looking to find it done at a good price, so want to ask others on here of prices they paid,

lookers have quoted me £469 for the belt and water pump change.... im new to vw so im not sure of wether thats a good or bad price??


im hoping this is in the right section ... sorry in advance if ive posted in the wrong section ..

I paid about £230 from pulmans vw with their fixed price servicing, although they did try to charge me extra when I went to collect it as its a special engine they said! But this was a few months ago.

We charge £360 including:

Water pump
Belt kit with new tensioner/idler
Coolant change
Labour and VAT.

Hope this helps.

And if you do get it done elsewhere, make sure they actually lock the cams so they don't time them out if sync, main dealers are the worst for this, plenty of threads on here regarding this issue.

And when if you get the cams put back incorrectly, PDT can put them back right for you, like they had to for mine

[billyjo76]

PDT is looking very good at the minute... didnt realise they sometimes get the cams out of sync.. !  the car has only done 8,300 miles, its on an 08 plate, would you say that the water pump will need changing at that milage?

cheers

It's always worth changing the water pump. I had one fail on my last car that was 2yr old

[billyjo76]
