    That seems very cheap for a main dealer I would have thought, no? Is the 1.6 petrol a particularly easy one to work on?

    Independent will be substantially cheaper. We charge €300 for the timing belt kit and water pump on those using all genuine parts.

    There are several different models of A4 with dozens of engine combination's, hence the need for information when posting questions like yours.

    We are near Portlaoise in Co Laois. The 1.9TDI is €350 rather than €300 though.

    Should be roughly around the €350 mark as well.

    Depends entirely on the car/engine you have. Its also not just based on miles, timing belts have a time schedule for changing too, eg every 4 years etc.
