Timing Belt & Water Pump Change - Cost of?

FirstinLastout

Hi Folks,

Currently what is a reasonable cost for the above?
I've been quoted E450 by a main VW dealer and I'm wondering if that is reasonable? Last time round I was charged E475 and I'm going to seek other quotes locally but just thought I'd ask here as well.

It's for a VW Transporter T4.

Thanks for any details provided.

Seems reasonable enough for a Dealer quote.

Would be a lot cheaper getting it done by a Third party mechanic or garage instead though

Which engine is it and what year is the van?

It's a '00, 2.4non turbo.
I'll be checking with a couple of indie mechanics and likely go with them unless they weren't competitive with the main dealer.

Thanks for the replies!

These have 2 belts, one for the camshaft and one at the gearbox side of the engine that drives the injector pump. We charge €450 to do both belts plus the water pump so the dealer quote is pretty good, especially if it includes both belts.

Just some feedback on this, final paid was €350 including oil change with a supplied filter.

Scanlon's Garage, Market Yard in Sligo town carried out the job.
