Timing belt change for a golf..Rough costs?

budfly

Does anyone have any idea what it would cost to get a timing belt changed on a mark V Volkswagen golf as part of planned maintenance due later this year.

Also any recommendations of a good garage /mechanic to do the work in Carrickfergus or Bangor Area.

Thanks

I got mine done last year on a MKV Golf.

The timing belt kit alone is about £90+

I got other work done too, but I think in all it cost me about £250.

Artie Graham in Balloo is a good mechanic.

Yea you can buy just at timing belt but are better to go for the full kit, it is an expensive part of the maintenance of a car but well worth it when you consider the damage that can be done if one snaps.

Yea it probably will be quite a few hundred to do it all in
