Decent price for timing belt job (NG)?
Car is my 87.5 CGT. It's time for the timing belt. The local wrench said $150
labor (3 hours at my discounted rate of $50 per hour), plus $20 for the belt.
Water pump (if it is run off the belt, I will replace at same time, if not, it
will wait) not included. So we're looking at $170 + tax out the door. Does this
sound like a decent price? Also, are there any other parts that ned to be done
at the same time as the timing belt? he didn't indicate any other parts...
TIA,

You should replace the idler pulley, water pump and o-ring seal, and both the cam and crank seals, as well as the timing belt. The pump is run by the timing belt.

My local Audi wizard did the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump for $220 ! And apologized for taking so long, he hadn't done a 4K recently.

Well, the water pump went out on my 4.2. Might as well do the timing belt. Anything else to replace?
