| Whats he charging you for doing the belt ?
I charge £35 labour on mk2 and mk3's thats for 8 and 16v's alike.
You can either supply the belt yourself or I can supply.
Just in case others need it doing. |

That may be the problem as the belt could have relaxed and is now squeeling because of this. |
