Better late than never, how does $300 delivered sound. That's for a belt, water pump, hyd damper and tensioner roller.

Obviously, a bit less for pick up if you're local.

Sounds good to me!

Agreed! Gavin, what's the chances of having this delivered in Melbourne by the end of next week? Cheers

Nice one Gav - I'll have to arrange pickup. Just need to find an installer now.

G'day guys.
Looking like I'm needing one of these kits too. Just to confirm is it for the 90k or 105k service?
What sort of saving is this kit over OEM, and I assume it's at least as good quality-wise?

Cheers,

Ring VW for a price on the kit.

Haha fair enough, I doubt I'll even bother calling them.

Hi Gav, my Polo has just reached 90,000 klms and it seems it is time to do this important service IE belt, water pump, hyd damper and tensioner roller. I too will be keen to pick up a kit. I am sure I read the DYI thread on here, but I will read it again.

What else should be done at the same time?

The only other thing I'd do is a coolant flush. Note for Brissy folk, I can get proper coolant for you too. I don't fancy sticking any in the post though.
