Cambelt + Water Pump Replacement - Official guidance

[eugene]

I've just paid £1280 for cambelt kit, oil pump belt,front crank seal and haldex service.

Oil pump belt change so early is nice precaution measure but maybe a bit of an overkill. Unbelievable prices comparing to the cost of the service parts but that what you pay for an hour for the work.

Parts were £600.
Labour £400.
VAT £200.

CAAx and CFCA engines don't have a flange. Probably a good idea to replace the seal on the crankshaft although I didn't hear specific complaints.

Timing kit for CAAx and CFCA - 03L198119D, INA kit without pump - INA 530 0550 10, with pump: 530055032.
BEWARE: INA belts with "Made in PL" label are shit. If you get one like this, just buy a Conti belt separately (CONTITECH CT1139).
Contitech full timing kits imho are not optimal even though they cost more than INA - the bearings and pump are likely from their chinese factories (INA is slovakia).

INA full timing kit with pump is around 128 eur.

Thanks for your reply. For the aux belt, what do you recommend? Is the contitech 6PK1555K4 good? EU5 T6 highline 140 with A/C Caac engine.

Contitech belts are possibly the best.
