How much should a 60000 mile service and a cambelt change cost me on my 2001 RS?

Its booked in to a Skoda dealer for 2 weeks time but they wouldn't quote me a figure over the phone, not even a rough guess. Dont want to be hit for a huge bill but i'm guessing about

No chance.

On my derv the cambelt alone is almost £500 and the service is £300 at dealer prices.

Since your car is (I assume) out of warrenty, I'd go find a good independant and get them to do it with genuine parts. (Although has anyone got an opinion on the 'GSF OE spec' parts

You have a PM.

£300 is v optimistic, I was quoted £225 just for cambelt change at local Skoda dealer. The 40,000 service cost over £300 inc haldex oil & filter.

Could not afford cambelt this time but as car only done 39,000 hopefully will be ok.

If you phone around you will find the price varies a lot.

I had my 51 plate Octy in for a 40,000 mile service and cam-belt done a fortnight ago and the best price I found was

Mine cost me £350 from my local garage

Mine is due in 3000mls aswell :( better start saving....

I was quoted £440 today for a cambelt and water pump, fitted. No service. I think UI must have been wearing my "MUG" t-shirt again!

Shame the Octavia one doesnt work, and the New Octy one is pretty uselesss. Good try though:thumbup:

I was quoted

Sounds about right for main dealer pricing. We are t

cambelt change time lists at around 2.5hours, so depending on how plush **** Turpin's showroom is where you live, the $$ value of the labour could vary considerably. genuine cambelt kit is in the region of £120 retail iirc.. genuine waterpump approx £45

OE (made by INA) cambelt kit and all-metal waterpump from GSF £80 all in

Book time is 3.3 hours for a diesel. 2.9 for a petrol.

genuine cambelt kit is in the region of

got my slx tdi serviced(oil service) last week plus timing belt, tensioner and pulleys. As car is now at 100000m also got the water pump changed all at my local vw independant specialist. The total bill was £412 which I thought was a lot but reading your comments now I feel so much better. I'm pretty sure he sources his parts from GSF so should be OK. He showed me the new water pump which had metal impeller. Cost of it was £21 something I seem to recall, belt £20 odd and tensioner kit approx £110.

I probably shouldn't gloat somethings bound to go wrong now.

Had the Cambelt, tensioners and Metal impeller water pump done on mine at 65K, the water pump impeller died so had no choice, local Dealer, Claybank motor company quoted me £295 all in, had it done at Awesome GTI as they matched the price.....did a top job as well!

Anybody comment on the quality of the GSF (INA) cambelt kits then?

Looks fine, I have one ready to go on.. Dayco belt and good quality idler and tensioner using NTN bearings.
