A3 1.5 tsi - timing belt change

[IJWS15]

Daughter has been quoted nearly 900 for a timing belt change (Audi dealer)

Is this doable at home or alternately can anyone recommend a good independent in the Stafford area?

Thanks for the responses, not sure it has even done 20k so will show her this and talk her through the options.

There's two people on a Tiguan forum just now with TDi's who've had the belt (or something related) go at just under 5yrs. Oddly different treatment - one has had the vast majority of the bill covered by VW and the other has been told he needs a new engine and asked for £10K.

Perhaps one has a full VW service history and the other doesn’t.

Daughter finally made up her mind to get it done but not by the dealer, butI haven’t had time to book it in for her. Seeing her today and will ask her to call the dealer to see if the have relaxed the requirement.
