You're looking at around 200 quid for cambelt alone, 60 quid for waterpump as well. Don't forget to get coolant changed too.

Likewise just had a VW-trained mechanic mate of mine do the job for £230 all in including his labour
I got a quote from my local dealership last week for £290, including the water pump and all coolant etc that would be required. Their first quote was without the water pump so I told them to go back and get a second quote with it in!

I payed £150 parts and labour for an experienced VW mechanic. No water pump in that though. Haven't changed water pump at all and it's on 66k

What specialist tools do you need to do it youself? The tool to adjust the tensioner?
