Timing belt kit

[The_Laird]

Thanks Ainars

[mik15]

i bought my set from blauparts.com, got the basic one for $200(i think i got it on sale or something as i checked later and it was $235 or so) and water pump and T-stat from europaparts.com.

The timing kit is all INNA and the water pump is Hepu with metal impeller($cca 90). The T-stat is OEM(cheap anyway), 82C for hot climate country. Overall super-happy with the prices. I didn't go for the other ones on blauparts as i don't need their DIY's nor the coolant.

Is the damper the tensioner?

And what about rollers and guides?

And are these prices plus VAT or VAT included?

[ainarssems]

All prices including VAT.

As far as the rollers and guides go it's just the matter what they are called, Audi calls them idler pulleys.

Looks like I missed tensioner as the Audi has called it clamping lever, 2 versions depending on chassis number, See attached pdfs for more details. E has been superseded by F, price is £177-178 for all versions.

And 2 more pdf's with different view from ElsaWin

Thanks again!

I make that over £800 just for parts!

[ainarssems]

Unfortunately it can get expensive if you use genuine parts, change the lot and have somebody else do the job.

I did my PF on budget, first time belt only, about £30, second time belt £30 and damper about £60 from Germany + opened up rollers, cleaned old grease out and packed with new grease.

Pretty sure I was the thick end of a grand for a service and timing belt at a4audi with water pump, etc.

Inchcape Audi Swindon Quoted me £884 last year for mine including pats which I thought was pretty ok for the whole shebang, so it wouldn't surprise me if the parts came to about £600 or more. The fact that they did it for £100 incl vat was a bonus in the end
