As the title, What do you expect to pay for a cam belt kit, assuming you dont just change the belt but fit the complete kit with idlers and tensioners, I have been checking prices and they vary so much it is hard to get a good idea, I based this on a GTi138 Gates Kit

I recall paying around £30 for a 1.6 one with idlers. Not sure if that helps.

It does as I am compiling a list of vital service components we all need. The prices seem to vary so much I thought I would see if we could regulate where we could get a quality part for the least money

I'd look at buypartsby.co.uk first .... got our 1.4 HDi kit from them. A lot cheaper that sites like eurocarparts, etc. I'd also ring around our local motor factors ...
Now in the market for a 2.0 DOHC kit!
