Why are you guys changing the cambelt at such a low mileage? I thought it was 80k before it needed to be changed?
Early TDI's are 60k. Something that Tonbridge Audi neglected to tell me when the car was serviced at 60k. But when they actually looked it up, there it was...markbigears said:Why are you guys changing the cambelt at such a low mileage? I thought it was 80k before it needed to be changed?
£45 per hour at an Audi dealer??? Is this actually a franchised Audi dealer we are talking about? That is less than half what they charge at Tonbridge...Aikon said:I just checked my receipt, they charged as follows;
Cambelt kit £78
Pagid Brake Pad set £37
Labour 3.5 Hours @£45ph £157.50
Brake Disc set 2x £26.00
Plus VAT @ £56.79
£381.29
And the brakes are soooo much better!! Done 2700 miles on them now.
Hello All,
1.4 TDI's cambelt is due for changing. Mileage is 64,000. Please can anyone reccomend an independant service garage. Chester Audi quoted £450.

Cambelt Change

One last tip - the manual suggests loosening the 3 bolts which lock the camshaft pulley to the cam, probably to compensate for tolerances in the belt tooth spacing or lenght. I did not find this necessary

Hi A2driver
You definitely need the pulley off to see the timing marks on the small crankshaft pulley and probably to remove the belt cover..

Hi pengers,Looking for a fix on this stage if anyone has a good idea - (1.4tdi bhc engine) - getting the crank pulley off with partially stripped and siezed allen bolts. Cheers, pengers.
