We ensure you are getting value for money and reliability from your car at all times:
In addition to replacing the Cambelt, it is equally important to inspect all Tensioners, Idle Rollers and associated parts, as these are just as prone to wear and failure as the belt itself.
On most late Volkswagen Audi Group vehicles, the Cambelt also drives the Water Pump. Therefore, where applicable, all our inspections include a visual check of the water pump and we will contact you should a replacement be necessary.
Auxiliary drive belts do not have a specific replacement interval so are usually replaced at the same time as the Cambelt. We will advise if any replacements are necessary.
All Cambelt Kits, Water Pumps and Auxiliary drive belts we use are Genuine VAG parts which come with a 2 Year Warranty.
