That was using genuine Audi parts and doing all the ancillaries (water pump etc.) - they showed me the list of parts and it was quite long.
Labour was only about 25% of the job (their rates are a bit less than Fontain) so the figures above all seem fairly consistent.
The actual cam belt itself was quite cheap.
Fontain have done a fair bit on my old car over the years so I might go to them as well for a quote and try to haggle with Sunny - he "owes me one" as I'll remind him at the time. 
I'm thinking of having a gearbox fluid/filter change at the same time so it'll be a sizeable bill in the end wherever I go.  |
Swindon Audi quoted me £850 all in not that long ago for mine including all the ancillaries so quite a difference and at an Audi dealership. I was also quoted about £650 for the same from Dialynx near Swindon! barely covers the parts costs but they do them regularly so they know their V8's
