Kia ora folks,
Have browsed the forum for a wee while but not noticed anything about current cambelt options in Auckland - apologies if this has been asked before but where is the cheapest reputable place to get a properly done cambelt/water pump?

I'm looking at purchasing a mk5 GTI which is due for a change so need to factor in the cost. I've tried a few places and the best so far is about $1500 which seems a lot to me. One garage even quoted $2400!

cheers

Anything over 1k they are ripping you off and that's new water pump, idlers the lot.

Thanks mate, that was my thoughts too however I can't see to find anyone below $995 plus GST. It would be great to hear from nnyone who has experience of a garage that charges less.

Thanks :D

I can do it depending on how urgent it is.

Either John, who is out west, as per his offer.

Or if you're south-east you could give Edwin of Prestige Master Tech a call. They're in the East Tamaki/Botany area. Just be firm about what you want done, as he will try sell you on more.


EDIT: check out John's projects, they're a testament to his workmanship and is well vouched for by other members too.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I haven't purchased the car yet so no huge rush to get the job done. Will consider Prestige as an option and also John too.

reach out to Eurospec (in glenfield/ wairau valley), pretty sure he's on or under $1K for the full job.

Good shout GLIDN, thanks. $950 all up inc GST. Best so far by a couple of hundred.
