Hi All

Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase a timing belt kit and waterpump for my 2006 octavia petrol vrs ?

I have a mate that works in a garage happy to fit it, just need to buy the parts, cant find the kit for mine on ebay anywhere ?

I would price up a cambelt kit & water pump from your local skoda dealer & price one up from a local motor factors(andrew page etc) i personally wouldnt buy something as important as a cambelt from e bay,if the skoda dealer is to expensive for you a pattern part make such as "gates" will be fine from a motor factor. put a cheap unknown e bay cambelt on & when it snaps a year later which it will!, you will wish you had spent a bit more & got a known quality make!

Look for either a genuine kit or a kit made by gates from a good motor factors.

cheers guys, i didi find a few gates kits on ebay but cant find the correct one for a 2006 2.0 petrol. ill keep searching, my friend works at nationwide autocenter and can get everything including labour for £250 which sounds good to me but he suggested i might be able to get the parts cheaper on the net.

Have you checked Euro Car Parts?

German, Sweedish and French (GSF) and Eurocarparts (ECP) will sell gates kits and I do remember hearing somewhere that somebody I know got a gates kit for their Audi 1.8T in a genuine skoda branded box.
