Hi guys, while I was at the main dealer today (watford) I had a little chat with them about getting the cambelt and waterpump done on my 06 gti. They said they would price match. They are looking for £299 for the cambelt service and an additional £100 for the waterpump.
How much have you guys paid in the past? Ideally local(ish).
Cheers! Paul

I think that price of £299 is pretty standard throughout the main dealer network, not a bad price! :happy2:
-
I paid £299 for my cambelt change. It did start off a lot higher but they price matched another dealer.
-
I had prices of £300 for cambelt and and rollers tensioner etc and 400 including water pump at cheltenham VW, went to Cirencester VW as they offered either £320 for belt and tensioner or £350 for everything including water pump and courtesy car! (i went for the £350 option) Think this is your std target price, i do think some of the VW dealers Op Noorth will do cheaper but difficult to get below £350 all up Daawn Soouth.

I was in the swansea vw dealers today and they charge £299 or £399 with a new water pump
-
£299.00 is a good price but an extra £100.00 for the water pump is a bit steep,think it's only around £50.00 max & cam belt needs to come off to replace so don't see how it's an extra £50.00 on top of part price when they have it in bits?
-
They have the £299 pound offer in my local VW but it exclues the 2.0 TFSI as they say there's more work involved - I had a quote of £550 for CAM belt + waterpump and they then reduced that to £450
-
I had the £299 deal from my VW dealer on TFSI, and I dont see what extra work would be involved, ring around you should get it done for £299.
-
Thanks guys, pretty much what I was expecting. I shall endevor to get a better deal out of them or find a local indy.

When does this need doing 4th service 40K?
-
I was told when the car hits 4 years old regardless of the mileage. Apparently the cambelt itselt if designed to run upto 120k miles :confused: :drool:
