I'm pricing timing belt kits and wanting to do it myself (with the help of a friend who is a very capable mechanic) to save some money - things are tight this winter for us.
I saw this kit: http://www.blauparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=GH21122%2DB and it looked like a pretty low price (compared to some other places) but I'm a noob when it comes to ordering parts for my Jetta so I don't want to make a costly mistake.
Anyone had any dealings with this company? I was particularly interesting (in part) because they had a tool rental ($35 I think) for the tools to do the timing belt change. That's a lot less than purchasing the tools (obviously).
I'm not trying to be cheap and I don't want to buy inferior parts but if I can save a little money here and there, it'll definitely help make the bill paying easier. I'm looking at purchasing the VAG-COM software/cable and that isn't cheap either, so if I can save a little bit (without making a 'bad' choice), I'd like to.
Thanks much. I like the site.
Matt
