The 2012 Evoque Pure Tech was just purchased by the wife. I myself drive a l322. It's a nice automobile.
This piece is solely for your feedback.
Even though the car has a decent service history and has clocked 61,000 km, the cambelt has never been changed.

I called about today to get a ballpark figure, and the main dealer quoted £800 to replace it—not including the £250 for the water pump.
Who, without a new waterpump, installed a cambelt?

You might want to consider getting a water pump installed simultaneously to save money in the long run, my friend.

I appreciate you getting back to me,
I was of the same opinion.

The average annual fee for belt servicing, which includes the water pump, from a reliable LR independent specialist is £500.

The belt and pump cost me £330, and I had mine done on a 2015 2.2.

What a steal of a deal!
I can only get 560.00 as a best.
The price of Gates' full set is around 170

To sum up, it's not terrible.
Your feedback is much appreciated.

If it were up to me, I'd also finish the service belt simultaneously.
It appears that replacing the water pump along with the engine is a common practice for contemporary automobiles. The location and construction likely play a role.
The pump used to be on the side of the building, where it was easily accessible and had a good reputation for durability.
