Hello,

My sister-in-law has 2000 ish Ibiza TDi (I think a 90) that has done 130k without a cambelft change !!!

Indy want £250, is it straightforward DIY, are special tools needed?



Thanks.

130k without a belt change very lucky! i would do the water pump to. £250 is to much as any local guy sould do it for £150 or less as the brothers mk4 GTi TDi golf was just fully serviced for £140 inc parts (Belt kit water pump plus oil change) that was a local guy near him

as tools needed just a locking set you can get from euro car parts or gfs

Thanks, by locking set do you mean to lock the camshaft and crank to maintain timing? It is single cam so marking the old belt, marking the sprocket postions, comparing old belt with new then double checking by counting the teeth would do the job surely?

A twin cam needs to be locked up clearly.
