eBay Cambelt and Waterpump Kit

[FarmerFitzy]

My cam belt on my MK5 Golf GT TDI is due for replacement early in the new year. I like to always shop around to get the best deals.

I have seen on eBay the cam belt and water pump kits for about £130. My question is as they as good quality as compared to if I went into a garage and booked my car in to supply and fit.


Anyone got any past experience on this?

Cheers

Cambelts done yourself this way are fair enough if you are happy to live with any risk that the belt may be of dubious quality. If a garage will be fitting it anyway it is in your interests that they supply the belt, as they are then able to offer assistance if the belt fails due to manufacturing fault etc - especially so if they're a brand specialist and buy from TPS, who offer a 2 year parts warranty.

Probably best to leave it to a Garege then for peace of mind if it broke 2 months later due to manufacturer faults

Thanks
