Title: Timing Belt
Post by: SirDavidAlhambra on March 04, 2023, 05:30:02 PM
Good afternoon, friends!

I was wondering, how often do I need to get the timing belt and tensioner and water pump changed in my 2006 1.9 TDi Alhamb please?

Thank You

60k or 4 years seems to ring a bell

I usually pop my details into the click mechanic web site for a quote (who use engineers in your own area)They are indicating around £350 plus water pump which I guess would be about another 20 or so.Have thought about using them in the past but I have a local guy nearby who does most of my work.As I say it just gives an indication so you are not too shocked 😕

Thank you, that is a clever idea for benchmarking rates!
