    Can anyone advise me on what would be a reasonable price to have the timing belt replaced on an '04 VW Passat 1.9 TDI?

    Got an independant to do mine.

    Belt water pump.

    About 600 quid.

    The whole front of the car was off, got a great pic with my phone.

    I got mine done in a VW Main dealer for that price. Included was;

    Timing belt kit (tensioner's, timing belt and water pump)
    Aux belt (for the A/C pump)
    Diesel fuel filter (supposed to be changed every 20k)
    Refill of G11 coolant as frank said take the front of the car off which requires the rad to be drained.


    BTW; It would have been 550 for the timing belt only that I wanted a new fuel filter which cost in the region of 25-30 euro and can be a bit of a hassel to fit.

    Hmmmmm... interesting. Thanks for the advice.

    I got a price of €600 from an independent. Will ring a main dealer for a price and work from there.

    Had mine done independent for €800. Was quoted €600, but they needed to replace a pulley and belt after they took off the front of the car +extra labour.
    Didn't bother me as the local VW dealer wanted €1100+VAT for the basic timing belt job.
