Default Another B6 Timing Belt Q?

Turns out ECS does not have an ultimate timing belt kit for 2002+ A4s, instead you can purchase all the parts individually, which runs about $650.

I then called my dealer, and they said that the Timing Belt replacement (along with all the rest) is recommended by 80K miles.

I'm currently at 60K. Does anybody with a B6 have any feedback? Thx in advance.

No prob Panda.

Other than the timing belt, my dealership told me that for the 60K service they charge $500 for new spark plugs, fluid replenishment and safety inspections. Other than the spark plugs, is there anything else they replace?

Why do you want to replace it at 80K? I have the exact same car and my manual says to do it 105K!

On this forum, we recommend changing the timing belt before 90K mi. We have interference engines, meaning the valves and pistons meet when the belt breaks , causing an expensive repair.
