just delivered the car to my local vag specialist , for cambelt change and new waterpump ,

£180! bargain. Is that for the cambelt kit?

It may be the waterpump as they are prone to breaking up IIRC. Could just be a blocked thermostat too.

thats for cambelt ,pully ,tensioner ,and damper basically everything and new coolant etc £180 was the quote he did say if he went over by a little bit of time might go to £190 -£200 but i dont mind paying the extra £20 as the guy knows his stuff .new pump with metal impellor too

got it back ,water pump impellor had snappd in half ! .and only 1 fault code wait for it 17705

The infamous pressure drop.

:iagree: water pumps seem to just fall to pieces on these engines

Had one size recently on a 20V - not pretty.

Marc
