A ticking noise from under the bonnet I think
Then the water pump was £40.30 + VAT and I think the Repair Kit on the bill is part of it. That was £95 + VAT so it's not cheap at all

Are there any signs if your cambelt is on the way out?

Not sure mate, just get your mechanic to look at it and see what he reckons.

HI! IMO YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF GETTING CAMBELT, ETC CHANGED. I GOT MINE DONE AS SOON AS I GOT THE CAR HOME. IT HAD ONLY DONE JUST OVER 20,000 LAST YEAR. JUST NOT WORTH THE RISK. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN TO ME IN MY MK 4 POLO! VERY EMBARRESSING, 
, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY OTHER HALF KEPT TELLING EM TO GET IT DONE. VW RECOMMEND EVERY 60,000 MILES( I THINK), OR 4 YEARS.
SORRRY TO HEAR YOUR NOISE IS BACK. MY LITTLE GEM IS STAYING HOME FOR INTERS AS ME OTHER HALF IS TAKING HIS GOLF!!!!
