I have not had the S3 long and have already spent much more than I liked to but Im thinking I need the cam belt done as I have no record of it ever being replaced. I have been looking on jabba sport site for prices I know I will need the belt changed and I will also get the water pump done anyway. What about the damper? If I have the belt and pump done its £350 but with damper it's £405 is it a must to have the damper done?
S3 84k time for Cam belt?

If you buy the Cambelt 'kit', you should get yourself a new damper and bearing as part of the kit.
it this the kit?

Im looking at getting mine done also.
Audi Dealer has quoted me £329 and Awesome-GTI are asking £295
£400 seems pretty steep considering.

Yes that's probably about right. Audi Stockport charge £120 per hour I was told by a mate who works there!
Well it was around that figure.
yeah but this is a price from the jabba-sport website not an audi dealer would have thought jabba would be cheaper than Audi

yes that seems a little expensive on the face of it.
