cam belt time
 
I have an 02 A8 4.2L. The Cam Belt was replaced at around 68K and it has now done 128kish. I am based in Kent but I do not mind traveling to get a good service. Essentially I was going to get the Cam belt replaced, have the car serviced and generally looked at. There are a few little issues I need to get sorted as well. Can anyone let me know what I should be paying for the cam belt replacement and if there is anything I might as well get done while they are in there? Recommendations for a garage would also be appreciated. Thank you for any help.

Camspec, Crawley get my vote on personal experience

Water pump and thermostat worth doing if no history of it

Otherwise down to thoroughness of garage to find anything needed

Yup, probably worth doing in any case given their small cost, noteworthy failure rate and hassle factor/expense to change on their own +++
