Timing belt kit sourcing

[Nader]

Dear all,

New here and just bought a 2001 A2 3L for my wife.

It needs a timing and accessory belt change. I guess best is to change everything around this such as water pump, tensionners (hydraulic option?)...

As I am new, not sure which online offer is the best quality/price.

Would appreciate advice on sourcing this. I am based in Switzerland.

Best regards
Nader

I would call your nearest Audi dealership and tell them you would like to buy entire timing belt kit for your car. They will ask you for your registration number possibly VIN which you can find behind your windshield right on the bottom (pasanger side). Obviously it will cost "bit" more than anywhere else, but you have guaranteed quality and piece of mind for another 5 ish years or 80,90k miles.

Plenty of choice here:

If you are doing the job yourself, you will need locking tools for the camshaft and crankshaft. Tensioner is hydraulic.
