Would appreciate some advice please.
Our car is coming up for a cam belt change. I am planning on sourcing the parts and then having local garage do the work. I am guessing that the parts from VAG will be expensive - I have seen a SKF cam belt kit on euro for about £110 and guessing that this will be a decent quality. Any recommendations on supplier?
re the water pump are these the same as my old Polo - genuine VAG have plastic impellers and after market better makes with metal impellers? Again any advice on best brand water pump to source.
Thanks in advance

Where abouts are you? Your local VW dealer may have an offer on.

Genuine isn't that expensive as Chris says there's plenty of offers I saw supply and fit advertised on tv recently under 300 thats with 2 years warranty
