johnxl1s 0 Posted January 8, 2007 How much on average does it cost to do a timing belt on a mark 4 gtdi john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 8, 2007 Depends on model but it's a big job... requires some special tools as well so unless you have a very good specialist nearby, you'll find it's cheaper to go to the dealer... They usuallly have set prices but I think TDI's start at £250 - £450 inc parts. On my AJM engine they say you should replace cambelt, tensioner, relay roller, waterpump and all associated bolts. Parts on there own come to over £100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peteTDI 0 Posted January 9, 2007 STRETCH=use once only we have had around 8 or 9 vag cars come into work where the belts been changed elsewhere with out replacing the bolts and then bolts have snaped and the engine drops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
