For my FR+ I got the water pump off eBay for £23 delivered - no surcharge for an exchange unit.

I got my cambelt kit with tensioners etc for £83 inc vat from The Parts Specialist (TPS) in Teesside.

Also, auxillary belt - £15 from a local motor factor.

SEAT and other technicians recommend that you change waterpump and auxillary belt when you do the cambelt as removing the old one can unsettle the waterpump etc and cause problems a couple of thousand miles down the road. For the sake of a few quid it is worth doing.

My 2006 55 Plate FR+ has just had it's 4th Birthday and it's sitting at around 45K Miles. I'm going to get it done in the next month or so, at my local Bosch Service Centre. I have been quoted £326 for a cambelt kit fitted, and £110 more for the water pump fitted. I got my Ibiza 130 TDI done there a couple of years back and it was a similar price. Are these reasonable prices?
