Greetings all. My 60,000 mile service is in need of completing and as we all know that includes the timing belt and a few other things too. Also, should I replace my water pump since I'll have it all opened up anyway? Does anyone else know of something that may need to be replaced besides the waterpump? Also, where can I find inexpensive parts that still meet the demands of manufacturer specifications. Ex. spark plugs with the proper temp specs, Oil filters with the proper pressure relief,..etc.</P>


Any responses will be greatly appreciated.</P>

Yes- replace your water pump. Just as well - you should only need to replace the impeller and the outer part of the housing (you can buy just these parts at www.ecstuning.com for a good price.) Change ALL your belts while your there (serpentine belt, AC belt, etc). And of course, make sure they change your timing belt tensioner with the UPDATED style- which is the norm for this service.</P>


For you plugs, filters, etc... go with the above website. They have a great number of parts for the A4. For oil filters I go with Mann (which is an oem filter).</P>


cheers</P>
