My 01 I picked up has 79k. It’s very clean. My shop quoted $1700. It includes all the things, as well as waterpump (I might skip that, save $160), and the camber seal seal, serpentine, coolant, labor. I might just risk it. I know it’s old. It’s an old belt, but that’s a lot of $$$. Same with new Bilstein shocks/struts. $1500 (all the stuff bearings, caps, labor etc. 6 years ago I pad $450 for a timing belt on my GTI with cambered, no water pump. $1000 shocks and struts. Rates are so high it’s not worth fixing anything anymore! I don’t have the tools and know how. Might be time to simply Bike, only. One fund a friend with the skills to help.

It was online, I can't remember where, it's a stock replacement part so it should be available from multiple places including the dealer.👍🏼
