Hey just got the car its a 99.5 1.8tqm and its about due for another timing belt, just wondering how much everyone else was paying for this to be done?

 

For the 1.8T most are saying around 800 to 1000.

 

well i have a 1998 2.8 avant
i got a fulling timing belt job done, tensioners, waterpump, cam seals, ext ext. (bought the ultimate plus kit from ecstuning.com)
also got a wheel bearing put on, oil pan gasket installed, strut worked on fixed, and new alternator payed for and put on for
1300 plus 450 for the timing belt kit. just to give you an idea..
i would expect like 800 - 1200
i would order the kit from ecstuning the ultimate one. with all the gaskets and everything else

 

It was 400 in labor for me plus the cost of the kit.

 

950ish for me... all original audi parts and i had my alternator fixed

 

DIY ~$250 for timing belt, tensioner, roller, water pump, all other belts, and T stsat.

 

ok its $250 for those parts but that kit from ecs looks to be pretty all inclusive for like $260, and how do i find what engine i have the vin is :WAUCB28D6XA240228 i thought i read somewhere you could tell if it was an aeb or whatever by the vin. thanks

 

remove the cover from the top of the engine and there will be a tab with the engine code on it...... or was that under the timing belt cover....... hmmmmm

 

Yea it should be right on the front top of the engine. Its engraved in there.

 

You want the one that says "ECS Ultimate Plus1.8T Timing Belt Kit- AEB & ATW Engine Codes Only "
You have engine code AEB.
