    Ring VW and get a ball park from them. Then assess if you can get it cheaper from a VW specialist.

    Post your location in your signature and someone will recommend a place local to you.

    Can't give you a price myself, as I do my own servicing.

    It would be interesting if you could let us know what they quote you.

    You can get a good comprehensive kit from ECS Tuning which will enable replacement of timing belt, tensioner, water pump with metal impeller, accessories belt and thermostat with gasket. $230.00 US. plus shipping. With the Aussie dollar like it is now this may be a good alternative for you, then get an independant VW tech to fit it all for you. I'd bet all this would cost you an arm and a leg from a dealer here.

    $600 ~ $800 including parts and labour is a fair price imo.

    VW dealer - expect $1200ish iirc.

    What brand belt does that include? And where would you purchase it through?
