£230 wasnt the fitted price though, Probably just a flywheel price, The actual fitted price maybe less than £50 difference.

Volkswagen wanted £800 to do the cambelt on my mums golf.

Your right it was £350 all in fitted .

£800 for a cam belt change, she was riped off big style

I had mine changed and a new metal water pump (the plastic ones give up shortly after a new belt is fitted)

it should have cost her no more than £200 mine was £244 but that included the pump

She can take the golf to a Seat or Skoda dealer as they all use the same engines and parts, a golf is actually skodas smaller brother

Buy an automatic. No DMF's on them!

Last automatic I had required 3 gearbox rebuilds in 70000 miles - and they are not cheap!

Fortunately it was a company vehicle on lease.




Very unusual for an auto to go wrong 3 times, let alone to do it in 70000 miles. Who rebuilt it? What car was it?

It was a ford  - rebuilt by a specialist auto gearbox repairer. A few years ago now.

You do surprise me when you said Ford. It's not as if they are beginners to automatic gearboxes. I was expecting you to say Kia, Hyundai or some other Korean company.

I have known a few specialist engine rebuilders and specialist gearbox rebuilders though and nothing surprises me of some of them. Had you said a main agent had rebuilt the gearbox then that would have been another matter.
