It shouldn't be that hard a job on that engine. Is there a local non-franchised
dealer locally - try the VW club for recommendations, or look in the phone book
or Yellow Pages. I did our 1.8 GL, which I think had an extra belt due to the
power steering.
Where are you?

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.




All the best,
Angus Manwaring. (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
