I bought a Gates cambelt kit for 60, a waterpump for 40 and paid a garage who i know well and work mainly on vws 150 to fit it. I also supplied the coolant and a aux belt.
I had quotes for parts and labour ranging from 375 to 472 elsewhere.
Nice one, thank you for getting back to me on this.
Jheeze thats quite a lot for requested parts and labour fitted, maybe my price was okay then..
So we can confirm that the water pump is located on the Aux Cable for these engines?

Hi people, first post!
Just need a little pointer with this one please.
I have a 1.7 SDI AKU Lupo that is a great little car. The cambelt was due a change so I took it to an Indy garage and they have quoted £308 just for the cambelt which I thought was quite steep considering that water pump was not included in that price. After doing some digging I think that the water pump is driven by the Aux cable? Am I correct? If so they may not need to change that. But at the same time, if they are working there then they should do, right? I am left feeling a little ripped off and I just wanted to hear from someone with experience on what they may think?
Surely I could have the water pump and cambelt done for around £300-£350? I live in Oxfordshire.
Thanks,
Adam
