Cam and aux belt parts prices

[colm_gti]

Just rang my local gsf to get prices on the following parts for my ph1 172:

Timing belt kit...131euro+vat (112.74gbp+vat)
Water pump...36euro+vat (30.98gbp+vat)
Mk1 16v aux tensioner...70euro+vat (60.24gbp+vat)
Cam locking tool, tdc locking pin and pulley immobiliser...76euro+vat (65.41gbp+vat)

These prices are all in euro, and comes to about 378.73 euro altogether including vat, which is about 325.82 gbp.

My question is, does anyone know if anywhere could beat these prices including delivery? And where?

Thanks

Just priced up all the bits i need there over on eurocarparts.com, and its working out a fair bit cheaper than with gsf, but i'm just cautious of the brands..

LUK aux tensioner pulley: http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/R...60&1&093f14fda8f7dd2574ce704dd0eb59b11847edaf

Are these brands of decent quality? And do they come with warantee? Also, does anyone know if that LUK tensioner is the right one for the aux belt?

Thanks

I would say the belt kit would be of good quality, like it says on that page, Continental is a renowned company. Looks like it comes with the camshaft end caps too which will save you a bit more. You don't get these with the dealer kit.

Is the pulley locking tool they quoted you for the cam pulleys or for blocking the flywheel to remove the crank pulley?

the importance of using Gates is over blown. They're very good, but they're not the only OEM supplier of cambelts through-out the industry. I'm sure Continental (being a HUGE manufacturer) will be totally fine

afaik its for locking the cam pullys

cheers lads, anything to say for the waterpump?

Gates kits are very good! Also dayco belt kits are equally good and come with a good guarantee! They will cover all the costs should there be any failure issues so they must be confident with there product to offer that!
