Just got myself a 1.9TDI VW Bora as a runaround, and although the cambelt was supposed to have been done, I am not so sure as the paperwork is a bit vague (dont ask!). So would like to take it to an indy to get it looked at and/or replaced.

I live in Bracknell, anyone know of a good indy in this area - actually doesnt have to be VW specific, but usually its a better idea. I work in Newbury, so quite a wide area for suggestions!

Cheers in advance

I've used Autotechnic for my Seat : http://www.autotechnic-online.co.uk/

He seemed pretty decent but I guess as a 'specialist' you might pay a bit more than for a general indy. Only downside was that he didn't take cards..

Yep - I've had my ST220 serviced by them for the last 5 services along with last couple of services on our Impreza as well. I've recommended them to friends and work colleagues and they've not had any issues with them either.

If you phone up request that Rob does the work as he's an ex main dealer Audi/VW technician and he knows them inside out.

Superb thanks a lot. They keep sending flyers through my door so still have one pinned to my fridge smile
