Hello I have my 2003 skoda superb 1.9tdi awx booked in at my local bolton VW main dealer on friday for a cambelt and water pump change .

It last had one done at 60000 I had this confirmed by the skoda dealer where it has full service history from . (Ive only just bought the car)

, that was in 2009 , so its been more than 4 years even tho thr belt looks nice and chunky and newish im thinking best to get it done anyway .

Its costing 350 at VW , other local decent garages wanted 350 with the vibration damper replaced but vw is the cambelt kit and water pump but not the vibration damper , so how important is the vibration damper or more to the point do I need to change it?

Is the vibration damper not the tensioner?

I thought the kit came with belt / tensioner and waterpump was seperate if you wanted it

Always worthwhile changing waterpump while at it
