GSF, europarts or Seat

The kit cost me just under 100 notes from the dealer...for a cupra tdi....HTH

I think it's about £75 from GSF

Awesome GTi do the ECS Tuning kit (inc all belts, tensioners, bolts, water pump etc) for about £175+vat

How much for fitting then??

 

[andyj]

the ECS kit from Awesome is actually only £149 + vat, so £170 all in.

See here for the info:

I have just emailed all my local VAG dealers for a quote to supply and fit all the parts, and then to also quote for the fitment of the ECS kit (if they will do that)

What did you actually ask for? The Fabia kit, or did you have to ask for the AUQ engine kit?

how do you know the kit your ordering has the metal impellar for the water pump
as this is vital when doing the cambelt/pump job

Is this any different to the kit you would get from Seat or a motor factors?

Sorry if its a stupid question, I'm new to Seats!

 

[RikH]

i've asked kez this as he has the ecs kit on his lcr
just seems like your paying for the name for me

i wont be bothering with ecs kit over OE unless i got some decent reasons to

 

[andyj]

the ECS kit is all OE parts, including a waterpump with a brass impellor, for £170.

the same parts from a main dealer will cost you £250.

I have just had the main dealer prices confirmed as above, and also the labour charge is approx £300...... for 4 hours work. But this is approx, as they have said it depends on how many problems they encounter when doing the work, seized bolts etc.

 

[andyj]

The ECS kit contains the following (for £170)

* OEM timing belt made by Continental
* OE tensioner Roller made by NTN-Japan
* OE tensioner assembly made by NTN-Japan
* OE Idler roller (comes on the tensioner assembly)
* Hepu water pump with metal impeller
* Conti-Tech accessory drive belt
* Behr thermostat
* ECS/OEM motor mount bolt kit
* Camshaft seal
* Crankshaft seal


The equivalent kit from the main dealer is:

06A121012X Water Pump With Sealing Washer
06B109119A Toothed Belt
06B109243D Tensioner
06B109244 Relay Roller
N10209603 Bolt
N10516701 Bolt
06A260849B Ribbed Belt (with aircon)
06A903315E Ribbed Belt Tensioner
06B109477 Tensioner Damper


and will cost you £250

The kit cost me just under 100 notes from the dealer...for a cupra tdi....HTH

this was probably for just the belt and tensioner...... I'm guessing by the price.....

 

[kez]

as above, you can get cheaper from various motorfactors, but the ECS kit uses OEM parts.

 

[Mr Az]

My girlfriends brother works as a technician for skoda, so he's going to sort it all out for me. Don't know exact part details but he said it will be all sorted for £139, with £100 being labour

 

[p1tse]

go with oem items i would say

think prices are £300 give or take £50 for a good supply, and fit including water pump

 

[andyj]

as posted earlier, my local main dealer had quoted £520+ for supply and fit of just the cambelt and tensioners etc, without the waterpump !!!!

mind you, they're rip off merchants.... they wanted £200 to change a front wheel bearing on my LCR, when the other closest dealer only wanted £85 !!!

Thanks very much for that andy mate, answer i needed. Ill be going with the ECS kit come change time

 

[andyj]

you're welcome mate

I had it all on a spreadsheet, as I've been costing it all up over the last couple of months in preparation for getting mine done!!!

I just need to find somewhere to fit the ECS kit now.... all the local VAG Dealers will only fit their stuff.

There are a couple of local VW Specialists that I'm going to try ringing today.
