Mk5 Polo 1.4 16v 100k on the clock, owned for 12 years

How much for cambelt kit & labour? 1.4 16v

Hey all

Its time for a cambelt change, it's got 57k and its time to get it done for piece of mind.

I have been quoted £330 for a cambelt kit & water pump, fitted. What you think of this price?

Thanks

Re: missfire low rpm only, ht leads,coil pack, plugs all replace

Little update

I removed and cleaned all my spark plugs with a wire brush, they where black and covered in carbon, this could cause the missfire and suggests the car is running rich. How would you lean it out or is there a better way other than leaning it out?

Thanks

Re: engine management light on. car stutter between 1 & 3000 rpm

Hey alexperkins

I fitted the new pipe and it has solved about 99% of the problem but there is sometimes a small stutter. Whats the oil return valve on the back of the block? how do I check this?

thanks
