Title: VW 1.4 16v Golf
Post by: Shackeng on 04 August 2013, 17:47:05

Further to my post on brake discs, has anyone done the cambelt on one of these as it is now due? If so any particular problems?

Double belt kit on these,quite expensive and water pump must be changed as well,easy enough to do though and nothing special(tools)needed  :y

Thanks Rob, Henry. I've now been told that it has been done, he forgot to give me the invoice with the others.
Thanks anyway, and an excellent link Rob, bookmarked for the future. :y

Any thoughts on the cheap discs from BPB? :y

Brakes and silly cheap don't sit well with me,the pagid stuff from experience is quite good quality so I would use that :y

My feelings also Henry, but I am quite surprised at how many cheap types BPB does. :y
