On my 2019 Scala, the plastic window trims have faded in a patchy fashion. If anyone else has experienced this, can they suggest the best product to bring back original finish?

I had this indie garage replace the Cambelt yesterday, the price went up to 575. Still a good price and no idea why it is less than others have experienced. They are all ex VAG mechanics. The breakdown of costs, 180 +vat for belt kit, 300 + vat for labour. I’m guessing about 60/hr for labour for a five hour job. I know it requires quite a bit of dismantling.

The indie garage that quoted 500 for the cambelt, is the garage that services my Scala, so they do know which engine it is.

Hey, thanks for the information. last year a local indie VW garage quoted me £491, it will be more this year I am sure. The car has done 25k. I used to have a Citroen wetbelt petrol and that I changed at 45k, they found crumbs in the oil strainer, so I felt vindicated!

I am getting conflicting info on when to change cambelt on this engine. Some say 5 years others say lifetime. What is correct? This a dry belt so one would expect a long lifetime.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I think, to be legal, I'll get a whiter halogen set.

The dipped lights are LED and very cool white, the main beam is a lot warmer. It's a known 'issue' or 'feature' with Scala headlights that have LED dipped lights.

My 2019 Scala has halogen main beam, this means you get the very white dip beam mixed with warm white main beam. Looking for recommended repalcement.
