Aug 2006 at 13:03 Could someone let me know the part numbers and TC price of the bits so can I give VX a ring and see how far it is worth going to get the bits. The cambelt kit is 9201887 £84.66 (thanks Mark) So I need the part number and price for Aux Belt Water Pump Anti-Freeze (not sure how much I need). Thanks Merv

The total capacity of the cooling system is 10L, made of 5L antifreeze and 5L water. Since you will be loosing quite a lot of coolant, I suggest that you take the opportunity and completely drain and flush the cooling system, for which you will need one 5L container of Vx Long-Life Antifreeze (Red). Not sure about the P/N, you can just tell them this is what you need, the TC cost is around £7 iirc.

Alternatively, Halfords make a ready-mixed lomg-life (Red) coolant, but keep in mind that it is ready to use and already includes the water so you will need 10L of the stuff, not 5L.

well when I bought most of those bits about 7 weeks ago, trade club pricing was:

water pump (p/n 93170697) £20.41 + VAT (retail £37.80 + VAT)
5l Vx long life coolant (p/n 93165087) £6.93 + VAT (retail £9.30 + VAT)

no idea about the aux belt pricing though ... didn't get one ... that's a £23.22 saving (inc. VAT) on those two items alone ...
