Hi Gents 

I have a 2010 1.6 TDI with 146000 miles need to replace timing belt looking to purchase timing belt tools but do not want to spend alot. 

Any recommendations

Thanks Mark 

I just used the cheap kit at the link below. It's not available on Amazon currently but there are plenty of other ones that are similar. I paid £12. There are two locking devices in the kit for the crankshaft but each is different and you only use one of them. For the camshaft sprocket, I found the ball ended pin a bit too tight but a 5mm drill bit did nicely. The tensioner i just locked with an Allen key. So in reality I only actually used one bit out of the kit.  Obviously whichever you buy just ensure it's compatible with your engine - I'm assuming yours is the CAYC engine.
