Cambelt + Water Pump Replacement - Official guidance

[Ayjay]

I let them give mine a wash for the first couple of services but at the third oneI I was hanging around for the 'while you wait' and saw the bloke on wash duty drop his sponge onto the yard floor, pick it up, give it a quick dip in the bucket and start washing again. After that, I went inside and told them that I needed to get going so would do without a wash. To be fair though, I never had any problems with the washing on the couple of occasions that they did do it.

The same is true of many independents.

That's why I especially said a 'good' one!

Our 2016 T6 has developed a water leak.
My local garage has diagnosed that it requires a new can belt, but cannot source the requisite parts ! No stock at their supplier apparently.
Can anyone recommend someone in the Bath area who might be able to undertake the work?
Thank you

I just looked on Euro Car Parts website and they've got a selection of cam belts and associated parts, water pumps, etc all available for my 2016 T6.
Maybe yours is a different engine variant and there isn't such a selection available but you might wish to check.

Can you get the van to Bristol?

I could, but following a search on the forum I have found VASS in Bath, who have quoted what appears to be a pretty fair price for a cam belt and water pump.

Thank you for the recommendation. Much appreciated. Will make a note in case I need them in the future.
