You could always get the belt done at a decent indie. I tried to get my Up belt done locally but he said he would need to buy a special £200 VW specific tool, so it wasn't worth it for him.
A local indie has quoted me £364, but I suspect both the indie and the stealer hasn’t factored in the possibility of needing a new water pump which was also changed last time the belt was changed, but I’ll clarify if the stealer will include the pump.
The stealer who is only 5 miles away has also agreed to collect it from where I’ll store it, do the job and return my current car while I’m away on holiday. Whereas the indie is 15 miles away and doesn’t have any specific means to collect the car to fit around my holiday plans.
Ive ordered the engine oil, got the filters so I should be able to do the engine oil change, reset the SRI etc this weekend.
Ironically I do have the tools to do the belt myself, but with a new contract at work finding time would be difficult, which is why I’m having it done while I’m away on holiday
