Now I know it's been asked before so sorry about this . My local steeler has quoted £299 for a belt and tensionor and £399 with the water pump :shock: . Now does this seem a lot or quite fair , I dont really have the time for this job myself so I'm looking for other options , any help on this would be most helpful

Yup. Thats exactly what they charge over here in S.Wales.

Needless to say, I'm still saving up for this...

I was quoted a similar price by my local dealers earlier in the year.

As kc has suggested, might be a good idea to try and find a local VW specialist. They'd probably do a better job if your stealer is anything like mine...

vw dealers are all the same price guys

its fixed price servicing they have launched, so no more haggling and lying saying well so and so are doing it for x amount... cos they will know your lying! haha
