Car is approaching the 60k mark so the dreaded cam belt is due to be replaced :( (money i could be spending elsewhere) just wondering where you guys/girls took there's?

Had a look at EMD and places like that. Location isnt really a problem with me travelling with the forces a lot so either N.Yorks area or Guildford, Portsmouth, Farnham etc.

Thanks :)

Dealers sometimes have special offers on. Worth checking all the VAG group dealers to see what sort of price they can do you.

I can have a word with my mate at VW Knaresborough if you want, see what sort of price he can do. Is that anywhere near you?

Kings seat Portsmouth are charging me £348 for my cambelt and waterpump change on the 7th jan.
Think thats a reasonable price imo

You could try them and you can get 10% off from mentioning this forum.

Viking where are you from :eek: Just realised your less than 5 minutes from me when im home Lol.

You must be on the camp then are you? There's a couple of folk local to you.

I take my car down to Knaresborough when it needs anything major, but all the usual service stuff I do myself. My mates the service manager down there so I know it gets looked after.

Viking - Im actually a Richmond lad im based down south in Bordon not to far from Portsmouth just home for the xmas leave :).

Godber - AMD charge just a little less than that iirc. If push came to shove id drop it off there and let them have a fiddle with it as well :) More power ha.

Thanks guys.
