Hello
Ive recently bought a 2003 VW Polo 1.9 Sdi as a run around for work etc. My work takes me on long motorway journeys. On speaking to the lad I bought it off he said that he didn't know when it last had a timing belt change. My dad said I would be best getting a new one fitted aswell as the water pump. I rang my local garage who said the water pump doesn't need changing with the timing belt on that model. Is this correct? Also he quoted £290 for the new timing belt kit, is this a reasonable quote?
Thanks in advance for any advice
