Guys and Gals.

Need to pick your brains on a service bill that i've just received.

Car in question is a 2000 (Aum) A3 1.8T
Service as follows:
New Cam belt
New Cam Chain Tensioner (I believe that its the more expensive variant of the two)
New Oil pressure value (whatever its called)
New gasket etc - assume that this is standard if your're taking the head off.

I don't for one moment believe that they've replaced anything inless however just checking that the cost of this seems reasonable
The work is from a reputable indi who I trust but the cost is circa £700 CIH. Does that seem a good price, not that I've got a choice as the work has already been done!
on the plus side the car now runs sweet as a nut - not bad for 140k I suppose!

What is the breakdown between parts and labour? I recently had a service and belt change on my Octavia, this came to about £600 but was at a Skoda dealer here in the Midlands (excellent folks).
