I will be looking for a cambelt kit for my car soon can anyone recommend a make that i should be looking for please?

car - (2013 20L cr 170bhp dsg 4x4)

cheers kev 

I personally use Gates or INA, I haven't had an issue in the 11 years I have used them.

Just make sure you check the engine code as I believe both 170hp variants (CBBB/CFGB) have their own variants but both are similar money.

The bits usually cost around £120-130 (Belt & Pump) so aren't too bad, genuine parts can sometimes be had for similar money too.

 

cheers buddy! 

can anyone just clear this up for me,

i have been pricing timing belt kits, and i am getting parts that are for my car but for engine code (CBBB) and (CFGB) do both codes get me the same timing belt kit or is one different from the other?

just looked in the boot of my car and it says (CFGB) S0 do i need the particular one to my car code or would either one do?

p.s  the ones i have been looking at are (gates timing belt kits) on the bay and the prices are ranging from like £98+ to £140+ the same make why is there so much price differance for the same make of kit ?

the reason i am asking, are some of them fake copies being sold under the gates name and are cheaper ?

I don't want to get a cheap copy fitted to my car 

cheers kev 

Different Kev, according to this page. 03L198119 with no suffix for the CBBB; 03L198119D for a CFGB engine made on or after 30/11/2010.

repair kit for toothed belt with tensioning rolle... - Superb(SUP) [EUROPA 2013 year] (7zap.com)  (view on computer, not phone to see all the info)

 

Neither the suffix B version nor the suffix D is shown as a superseding part number for the 03L198119, so I expect there is some difference, no idea what though.

 

cheers buddy!

I think 5 years / 80k miles? 

i have now managed to start looking for a cambelt kit i was going to use eurocar parts but they only list 3 makes and none of them are (gates) to started looking on the bay problem is they all say they are made by (gates) but the price differs greatly and lots of them list the kits as being right for the (CBBB) and (CFGB) I have been advised on this thread there there may be a difference between the (CBBB) and the (CFGB) 

My car says it is the code (CFGB) on the sticker in the boot, floor on the edge of the spare wheel well

cheers kev  

p.s i am looking for a kit with the (belt all pulleys and tensioners + water pump and all new bolts)

Skoda UK use this.

Continental Skoda franchises - Germany, France... - but also Australia claim for the same engines 210000 Km and no time interval.....

 

Is this extreme caution or rip off?

There is a difference between CBBB & CFGB, so make sure you get the right one.

Have you thought about INA? The INA kit is around the £120-140 region (from GSF Car Parts) and includes the water pump as a complete package.
The INA website shows that it comes with everything you have mentioned, so could be worth a punt, plus you can collect it if you buy from a motorfactors.

sorry ! I haven't been on line for a bit i got a (gates cambelt and water pump kit) off ebay for £108.75 that came with new pulleys tensioner a water pump belt and all bolts,

i put my car in a local indi garage to do the job they charged my £200 and that was including new anti freeze and my car washed. which i thought was pretty good.

so parts and job done cost £308.75 what do you guys think?

I've recently bought a Gates cam belt and water pump kit off Ebay I only paid £70. It looks like a genuine gates box to me

Just a case of having the time to do it now.

 

The Skoda cam belt service interval seems rather on the high side to me?

Yes same engine code as mine. Sounds like you've paid a reasonable price having it fitted.

Found this kit showing engine code CFGB so have the gates part number. 
Anyone know if this is correct or discovered what the difference is between CBBB and CFGB 

 

All the Gates belt kits I've looked at are quoting the same belt number KP25649XS-1. Maybe the difference in some of these belt kits are that some also include nuts & bolts?

 

This belt kit states it fits CBBB CFGB engines amongst many other AUDI SEAT SKODA VOLKSWAGEN 1.6 2.0 TDI engines.
