I am due a Cam belt change in the next couple of months .  Have put the job out to tender to 2 VW dealers and 1 local VAG specialists .   I asked for the water pump to be included.
Results
VW stratford £399
VW Leaminton £469
VW specialist £474

I am getting on the old side now and have always stayed away from Dealers , but I must say the service and prices I get at the moment is very good

I had mine done recently by a Indendent place and paid £304 for cambelt and water pump, all genuine bits with the coolant done too obviously. Not a bad price i dont think
