I own an independent garage that specialises in German cars. We would charge £325 + VAT0

That's a good price. Can I ask whose kits you use? Our oldest 1.8T (AEB) is no longer supported, even TPS doesn't have any left. We've a newer AWT also but the tensioner is different so not compatible. I'm looking at Gates, Meyle, Dayco (maybe Continental), probably the first two being the best?19lottie82 wrote: »I own an independent garage that specialises in German cars.

£390 all in then.
Sounds like the price of £340 (not sure if inc or + VAT) the O/P has got is within the right ballpark.0
