Hi guys,

My '94 Golf 1.8 CL petrol has just passed 100,000 and having owned it
for the last year, I thought I should get the belts checked.

I phoned my local VW dealer and they said replacement of the belt(s)
would be 225 UKP!

I said I was surprised it was that much, and she said after some
consideration she thought they could probably do it for 195 UKP.

I said I'd probably get in touch in the new year.

I know nothing, but isn't that a lot to ask - or on this engine is it
a particuarly awkard task to do?


Thanks for any advice and happy Christmas.

My wife has a Mk.1V Golf 1.6S amd if I remember correctly the price that the
dealer has on their price list for a cam-belt change is over £300.

I have also often wondered why it was so expensive.
