#1: Cambelt service on Gti180 Author: jammmmmin, Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 9:12 am ---- Firstly hi, I've been very grateful for a lot of helpful advice from the forum already.
I've just bought a 206Gti 180 which is in need of a cambelt change and I was wondering if anybody on here could recommend a good value garage preferably in the south of the UK?
I have tried contacting gti180boy as I would be willing to travel to get it sorted out but I think he is pretty hard to get hold of at the moment and possibly not offering his usual services.
So...any other garages / member recommendations gratefully received!
Ben

I know this is only officially 4.4 hours work and the bits are about £130 so i don't get where these quotes come from!

#6: Re: Cambelt service on Gti180 Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 9:41 am ---- 4.4 hours?
more likely is a 6 hour job

No but the kit might be.
Still highly doubt that, when the kit for the standard 2.0 gti is only 40?

#11: Re: Cambelt service on Gti180 Author: jammmmmin, Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 9:58 am ---- The parts with water pump, plus full kit including tensioner and bottom pulley + coolant come to £130-150.
Main dealer quoted 4.4 hours (at extortionate rates) plus £180 for the parts with no water pump.
