Default Timing belt

Timing belt service is coming up so just piling up a list of things that I can do while front end is off. So far I have; timing belt kit, waterpump, radiator, valve cover gaskets and chain tensioner pads... maybe valley gasket and knock sensors (plugs are crumbling away)

Anything else worth doing while at it?

The oil cooler pipe is made marginally easier by all that stuff being off, possibly the front crank seal, and the thermostat. Radiator thermo-switch while the radiator is off. You'll need new rubber mounts for the rad.

Genuine only for the thermostat, plus order a seal as it doesn't come with one.

Remember to order the o-rings for the gearbox oil cooler lines.

Aux belt and tensioners while you're in there. Probably also the fan pulley too as they're always a bit noisy by now.

crank pulley seal £10 brand new from Audi. if it leaks all of what you are about to replace has to come off.

yes they are correct. additionally number 13 is a plastic piece that often naps and I hink you can get them made out of metal.

Best place to get the o rings? eBay lists them for £46 each

Check and replace the snub mount while you're there too.
Otherwise very difficult, next to impossible, access to it.
Snub mounts are often separated and need shims to reduce tension on the mount.
