hi, this is my first post so sorry to ask about cambelts.can anyone recommend a decent garage to get my cambelt,and waterpump done in west cornwall? would it be cheaper to buy the belt kit and water pump separately as ive seen them advertised on e-bay for around110 quid for the belt kit and 26 for the waterpump(metal impellar),and what sort of time does it take a garage to change it ? any ideas appreciated.:confused:

oooh, risky. Best get it done in Devon.

I would recommend the metal impellered water pump. Have it in mine. £110 for the belt kit sounds about right. A garage that knows what they're doing with your car will probably do a belt change in 3 hours or less? Officially I think Skoda has it as a 4 hour job

Hi mate i have sent a pm

My mechanic is happy for me to supply parts as he adds 10% to what he supplies. Not all are. Local motor factor quotes £115 for a good Gates powergrip kit. Just got a Folletts German, w/p looks excellent quality. 2.5-3hrs approx.

I got mine done at mid cornwall cars for £290, including a coolant change and the waterpump (for reference).
