allroad timing belt, water pump and valve cover gaskets replacement
I just had a trusted independent mechanic replace all on my 2003 allroad with 150K miles on it. I used all Blauparts. Interestingly enough I had the dealer do TB/WP using Blauparts kit at 90 K. Since I had to do valve cover gaskets now due to severe oil leakage I figured might as well do it all at once even though it theoretically is a bit early to TB/WP. Discovered previous tensioner/roller had bearing failure as did water pump. Yikes! Reported that to Blauparts and they asked me to send failed parts in so they could look them over. Just wondered if anyone else had similar experience? Glad I caught it when I did
