I wish I had the £ & the space to take her for you. 😞
Hope someone will do her justice !
(I could almost afford to buy her but then there would be the money & hassle of getting divorced... ! )

Hello Mathew,
My suggestions will relate parts rather than procedures:-
If you aren’t buying genuine VAG at discount, then I would suggest you buy Gates kits which will include belt, tensioner and water pump (if belt driven).
As Kev says, EBay would be one source, but if I was in your situation, I would want to ensure that what you buy off EBay is not ‘old stock’ , since belts should be renewed every five years, and you could find belts may already be a couple or 3 years old before they are even fitted!I have used Car Parts in Motion to good effect and has reasonable prices, so might be worth checking there. I would also renew the serpentine belt and tensioner at the same time.
Hope some of this helps.Kind regards,
Gareth.
Thanks for that Gareth. I will have a look . Cheers. 🙂
