Hi guys , my timing belt has gone on my 1.6tdi 2014 , its looking like a re-con engine or re-build just wondered if anyone had a rough idea of the cost , many thanks .

Best getting a second hand engine from eBay but make sure you get a money back guarantee, some repairers will not fit second hand engine supplied by the customer as they have no idea if it will work. Best bet is to get a quote, but they will have to strip it to assess the damage first which will cost you regardless of going ahead with the repair.

I would do it myself, but you may need special tools so prob best getting it done by a VW/Skoda Specialist rather than a dealer.

These prices are a guide only, labour and gaskets nuts bolts not included.

Assuming it is a CAYC engine.

Thanks for your reply , i have bought a second hand engine from a salvage yard for £1.050 with 30k miles , they sent me a video of it running prior to removal .
