Audi A3 cambelt.

Mate has a 5 year old Audi A3 IIRC 1.6 petrol. Only done 10,000 miles. Dealer contacted him saying it needed a cambelt change due to age and would cost 800 quid.

Seems a lot to me?

Audi UK website is showing fixed-price servicing for all "2 litres and under" models as £449 for the cambelt change and £549 including a new waterpump.

At £800 the dealer is either trying it on or there's more to the story.

Audi dealer. £100+/hour before VAT.

Autodata gives 2.2 hours for a cambelt change on a 2003-2001 A3 1.6 petrol, engine code BSE. The biggest service is only timed at 1.3 hours, so even if that is included, 800UKP is outrageous.

It's about the same as my lease company was charged for a Passat TDI cambelt a number of years ago.
