RE: timing belt
the dealer has this info but reluctant to pass it on (£££$$$) newer cars do have a longer service interval as listed by Autodata " a very professional outfit " and if they say it then its true they charge enough for their data so they have to be right and that's by law

RE: timing belt
Hopefully mine shud come less..But he is telling me different prices for timing belt(130) and water pump (25) !!! But everything does add to 5-600
So.. Do I trust the APR that they ll put a good quality timing belt?
Is there anything such as good/bad quality timing belt-tensioner etc. which I shud buy and give to APR rather than they putting some bad stuff?

RE: timing belt
Flow, in wiston-salem is pretty good. Their high of course because it's a dealership but they are good. I had to take mine to them a couple times when i lived in Boone. Now i do everything my self if i can so I dont break the pockets.
PS. its not that hard of a job( pretty strait foward). I did mine about 3,000 miles ago with pretty basic hand tools.

RE: timing belt
I just bought my kit from www.purems.com it was one of the cheapest i found. It comes with an all metal water pump, belts, tensioner, dampener.... for about $260 and with this tutorial refered from another member http://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng35.shtml I think it should be about a days work.
