Cambelt Change - Cost?

[coolio]

How much roughly should a cambelt, tensioner, water pump, etc change be for a 3.0 V6? Cheapest I have so far is £425, hoping it find lower.

i recently paid £320 for this, but on a 1.8t. at a local german specialist (in poole dorset)

£425 is almost bang on for aV6 with pump etc.

£320 is also bang on for a 1.8t too.

That will be for a standard 1.8T and no water pump included

Make sure the quoted prices for the 3.0 V6 include all the rollers!!

I know that one of my local Audi dealers are quoting for the basic cambelt and tensioner for the big Audi engines just to get the car in, then when it's stripped down they are upselling the rollers etc!!! I have some good friends who work there! Well worth double checking to be sure there is no nasty suprises!
