I have been quoted £575 for a full service and all belts changed at a specialist in the West Midlands dealer want £1300 for the belt change

105k miles or 7 years whichever come first. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I'm paying £200 towards belts and pulley changes and dealer paying the rest as previous owner says cam belts were done
2 years ago but has no receipts , and I wanted proof.
Chip and tune is £350 .

Had chip fitted Friday from tdi tuning , and what a difference, lot more torque , smoother through the gears throttle
Very responsive no lag just push and go , fuel mpg is showing 27.6 and I have done 160 miles mix of urban and extra urban.
From 0-60 it drives like a different car . Def recommend having this done

Thought these had a timing chain not cam belt? Sure it was auxiliary belts?
