Big_dom91 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Just had the car in for major service with audi Liverpool and whilst they had it they brought to my attention the car is due to have its cambelt & water pump replaced now the dealership has quoted £650 all in parts and labour and also free lifetime M.O.T’s. Was just curious if anyone knew any independent VAG specialists in the north west area where i may be able to keep the cost down a bit rather than dealership prices nice one guys 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hello Dom, Apologies, but I cannot help you with independents in your area. What might be worth a coat of thinking about is what you are going to achieve in the longer term by not getting this done at the main dealer. This critical application should certainly not be treated as a cost-is-king job. Yes, you may get it done cheaper, but most importantly, what make parts are going to be used. Aftermarket (with the possible exception of Gates) are very much second class options, and I certainly would not use any other pump apart from a VAG dealer one - simply asking for expensive, written off engine possibilities. Having said that, the 'bonus' of 'free' MOTs for life!??? Oh dear! Might be worth looking up posts by Welsh Sue (I think) when she got involved with this 'deal' . Good luck and kind regards, Gareth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
