Water pump and cam belt..

[TaylorGTi]

I'm on 66k miles and was wondering if I'm right in thinking cam belt should of been done at 60k and if so how much am I looking at forking out :)

Cheers

I see is it due at 60 then or when I'm not to sure tbh

4 years or 60k miles, whatever occurs first.

Did mine at 45 & 70 but I am pretty anal & perhaps over service the car.  At 73k and 6.5 years old now.

Have you guys replaced the thermostat as well ? Or it is not needed as part of interval servicing unless it's faulty ?

Well just flicked through service book and the toothed belt had been changed twice one at 40k and one at 52 k... I'm assuming that's the cam belt?

Toothed belt = Cambelt

Where's the cheapest plc for genuine, ECP??

Is genuine essential

Personally, I always change the cam belt as a matter of cause on any car I buy regardless of it's history, that way I know it's been done by someone I trust to do a good job. It's not one of those things you can get away with if someone half arses it.
