Changed a cambelt on an Octavia vRS?

Featured Replies

As my cars just rolled over 60,000 miles and with the advice of people on this site i'm thinking about having the cambelt changed. Just had a few quick questions:

Is it a difficult job on the RS?

Is it just the cambelt, or is there anything else that needs changing at the same time? Cambelt Pre-tensioners? etc...

Any idea what i should be looking to pay for this job?

Cambelt change was

If you are thinking of doing this yourself good luck you'll need it and small hands.

Takes about 2-3 hours

The belt cost is about

and the tensioner is weird and wonderfull leave to the dealer is my opinion oh and whilst belt is off you might as well change all tensioners and relay rollers a little extra cost but well worth it.

Should be around

Mine was
