Hi All,

where to get timing belt kit and what should it include? is the timing belt on this motor a straightforward job??

Petrol or diesel? vRS or TDI/TSI?

Get brake pads from the guys at Brakes Direct. See what they recommend for your car, but ive had 2x sets of Remsa pads from them and they are excellent - work brilliantly and much less dust than the stock pads.

Yes, you'd need to be a bit more specific. I've done a PD type TDI belt etc ·there are a couple of pulleys that you change when you do the belt) and it was fairly easy, but I have been doing my own cars for over 30 years. You'll need a few special tools too. Kit cost about $150 and tools under $50 so well worth DIY.

Thanks guys,

sorry, its a TDI 2.0 PD i think... engine code is bkd 103kW (not common rail or DPF, same as Mk5 Golf TDI i think). I shouldnt have any dramas doing the job, I have a bit of experience with timing belts. Where is a good place to source the belt kit and tools?

THanks for the lead on pads, will order them now!

cheers

HSY, Imparts and Tooleys for brakes and timing belt kit.

Tools from eBay.

I have a PD TDI too (a BMM one though). The $150 price I gave above was from 2012, but I looked on eBay and there's a kit that also has a water pump for $210. Toolkit is about $40.
