Hay people,

 

can anyone please advise me of a decent make of cam belt kit that includes the waterpump, tensioners and pully,
 

im sourcing the parts my self but My car is going in for a new clutch this week and i thought i might as well get it done at the same time, also will i need to get new engine mount bolts and gear mount bolts for the clutch housing  while doing this?, if so which ones

 

Much appreciated

Try TPS http://www.thetradepartsspecialists.co.uk/ Usually the cheapest and OEM parts

How many miles on the car, I ask as you may want to change the hydraulic damper as these are not classed as part of the kit.

Iv tried TPS, cant help as only trade to dealers,

My motor has done 106k

TPS can be a bit hit n miss, some do, some don't. Best bet is to pop in in person and when they ask which garage just say it's a private job.

Could be worth a try

 

Can let me know what makes are good?

The TPS most local to me which is chadderton(oldham) sells to the public

Can anyone tell me if the Mk1 vrs has a Dampaner on the cam belt kit,  or is this also known as the Tensioner, as iv heard that the dampner is a seperate part than the tensioner,

 

any ideas

 

Cheers, Drew

That's the point - TPS supply the Genuine Volkswagen Parts that are already fitted to your car !!!

Go in again and say can you have a discount as you run your car as a taxi at the weekend. That should do it.

There is a mechanical tensioner and a hydraulic one aswell, the mechanical one is part of the kit but the hydraulic one isn't, (using genuine bits)

 

I've just been and go kit from dealers and parts lad looked at me blank when i asked for hydraulic plunger thing aswell, I just gave up in end and paid for my cambelt kit and water pump and left,

 

He said take it off and fetch it in and ill get part number off it and get you one, yeah and how the feck am i going to do that as car won't run with it

or just order off ebay, this one is good

But the engine mount bolts are stretch bolts.

Cheers people.

I have Everything sorted now.

I Got my Clutch kit today, and I have a Local Reputable Garage fitting my clutch, and cam belt kit including new water pump , tensioner, they are supplying all this and all parts for 460 notes,Oh and a gear oil change, to be honest for a garage that's not a bad price I think, Obviously I am  supplying the clutch kit,

 

I would do it my self, but with the cats and dogs falling from the sky, its not a good idea!!!

It is a bit daft considering that the belt goes round the mount so it has to come off.

Yeah i heard that people advise to get new engine mount bolts, Think i might get some today!!!!!
