Hi again guys, i need a bit help, (again) I need to get the head gasket done on the GTI-6 and i have been told i need head bolts, camebelt kit and water pump. I have been told buy an R.A.C. driver that the water pump is fine. so would i still need to replace this or can i use the old unit still? How much would you guys normally pay for a head gasket to be done? I have been qutoed around

head bolts are stretch bolts so you shouldn't use the old ones

You will need to change

Head Gasket
Cam Belt kit (belt, roller and tensioner)
Water pump inc metal gasket
Head bolts
Inlet manifold gasket
Exhaust Manifold gasket
Thermostat to head gasket
Thermostat and seal
A couple of cam seals will be needed
Check the rad as well suggest a new nissans ally rad

Hope that helps

Witch nissan ally rad fits? I am getting water pump, head bolts and cam kit now like you say if it fails its f***ed. I want to do it right the first time no cutting corners on this one.

Depending on the age of your car or current rad, you may need a new bottom hose as well - there were a couple of changes to them and the Nissens rads use the later type.
