Waterpump and cambelt kit?

Car has done 107k and the service history says it had the belt done at 70k.

It's a PD130 sport.

Thanks

Get the air intake manifold and EGR spotless, while you there get the intercooler and pipework cleaned!!! Tends to smoke loads less and will be better on diesel too.

Whist its in bits.....

cambelt (belt should be change every 4 years or IIRC 40k miles)
cambelt tensioner

as said above;
water pump, - make sure the new one has a metal impellor, not the standard plastic one SEAT originally supplied
oil & filter
definately clean out the intake manifold and EGR valve
