    Hi folks
    I've only just recovered enough from the quote from Crewe Audi to replace my cambelt - £1000 !!!!!!!

    I know it requires a variety of other bits and bobs like the water pump etc to be replaced but jeez, that takes the biscuit

    I travel about a fair bit, based in Crewe but working in Manchester, Warrington, Liverpool, Preston, even over to Yorkshire occasionally so a good deal would be OK even with the inconvenience of travelling a bit of a distance.

    I am after a recommended, quality specialist that can offer a decent warranty on the work as well as being cheap (don't want much then!)

    Can you help

    Keeping my fingers crossed

    Neil

    As chance would have it, I've just today picked up my '52 plate A6 2.5TDI from its cambelt change. I got it done at Money-Save Service Centre in Altrincham (www.money-save.co.uk), a small independent (with a good reputation locally) that I used to use years ago before I got the Audi. Now it's over 5 years old I felt I could no longer justify paying main-agent prices, so went back to them. I paid £840 all in for the cam-belt kit change, both accessory drive belts & rollers, water pump and, in my case, replacement of the aircon condenser radiator fan which was starting to wear out its bearings. Having costed this up at Macclesfield Audi, I reckon I've saved over £450. Money-Save were very thorough, checked with Audi what they recommended should be done while the front was off, and used all genuine Audi parts at my request; even showed me all the old bits when I went to pick it up. So far, so good -- all seems fine.

    if you came to London, i would do you the cambelt for £350-370 including the water pump. You get a Contitech cambelt kit(belt,tensioner and relay roller), fuel pump belt + tensioner, water pump with metal impeller, and a fresh coolant refill. It takes about 4 hours and about £270-280 is materials. I dont make much money and i allways reset all fault codes and make shure everything is ok, especially timing ! Regards, Chris-07841206564 !

    Thanks everyone. Stafford Audi will do it for £525 inc VAT which seems pretty good for a main dealer (includes all the belts & water pump, etc), plus they will lend me a car for the day

    Thanks for the offer Chris, but London is a bit of a stretch even for someone as tight-fisted as me.
