What're you going to do with that steering wheel then?

PS I don't want to know AT ALL.

Keep it along with the rest of the stuff I've collected over the years
eventually I'll either buy a car or get rid of it all.

PS: Yeah, you do.

Or open a Golferabilia museum in Slough?

Cambelts are nearly all labour
which is expensive.

Yep
And the belts on the VAG 1.8t engine are a pain in the arse to get to for a number of reasons.
( Kroney, Wed 24 Oct 2012, 17:40, Reply)

Do please list those reasons!!!!

Usually you have to take off the A/C compressor and the radiator to change it.
Also, because of the immigrants.

If it's like most other cars
it was designed to be easy and cheap to assemble, which means utterly impossible to work on easily afterwards unless you are some sort of orangutan / octopus hybrid with unusually shaped socket spanners for fingers.

In some fairness
it's also about fitting lots of things into the smallest possible space whilst still retaining function, too.

But about 60% what you said.

Yes
plus EU regs on protecting kamikaze pedestrians, etc.

I should fucking hope so
rubber belts aren't generally that expensive.
