    It doesn't seem unreasonable a kit will probably cost nearly £90,
    The kit consists of the belt and all the necessary tensioners and bearings, often its the tensioner that fails before the belt.

    that seems a very fair price to do a cam belt on this car.
    im just imagining now how little space there space there is under the bonnet of a 206 GTI
    the parts are cheap,its the labour that costs the most on this type of job.
    for example you could buy a cylinder head gasket for under £10 but fitting will cost around £300 and upwards.
