Water pump and Timing belt

[Llew]

I need to get mine done and I haven't had a quote below 450 I might as well just go to vw dealers 399

^^^ 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!! 

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.

^^^^ for £80 extra, get it done no matter what they say.
