Is anyone a experinced mechanic and want to help me do my timing belt replacement. I have some knowledge but dont want to go at it alone. Or if you can send me to a shop that wont charge what AUDI charges.

Any info will be helpful THANKS
I AM IN NEW YORK CITY

 

Welcome to the forum. Lots of helpful inormation and people around here.

Hope you have a positive experience and that someone gets back to you. There should be a number of experienced shops around. The problem is finding the correct one. I had my belt done in Philadelphia by a shop that charged 300 dollars labour including the waterpump, timing belt. tensioner and idler, all accessory belts and front engine oil seals on my 1.8T.

 

where?

My belt is comming up on it's time to change.

I'll go to philly for it.

Name?

Number?

Rick charged me $710 with tax in April for a 1.8T.

Including tensioner damper , pulley water pump ,2 front belts and

antifreeze.

 

Check

there are many mechanics in your area.

 

Z-brothers in north phili. I don't have the address handy.

They are not Audi specialists but the mechanic (Australian) worked his way through it. It took him a full 5 hours to methodically do it. He even put up with me looking over his shoulder.

Sorry, I don't have the number and I'm on the road.

 

np...i have a 5k or so miles to go before it needs it. I'll find the place.

Thanks.

 

Is there a good write up on how to do it ourself besides the one on audiworld for the a6 30V. Its pretty good but no detail photos. Does the manual from bently have detailed pictures/diagrams and info on how to do it? If so ill go ahead and buy that and do it myself.
Thanks

 

you should buy the bentley anyway. I don't have one but I'm sure it's very helpful.
