I have a 1997 A4 1.8TQM, and my timing belt is way overdue for a change, so i'm about to knock that of the to-do list. I've heard good things about the kits from ECS Tuning, and I searched the forum about Ebay kits, and got mixed reviews. I'm thinking either the Ultimate Plus Kit from ECS, or something like this kit from Ebay.

Timing Belt Kit
Also, is there anything else (besides water pump, thermostat, other belts, etc.) I should change while I'm in there? I see there are Camshaft seals in the Ebay kit, are those difficult to install? Thanks in advance for the help guys, sorry for the noob questions!

 

I would just buy it from ecs or 1 of the other tuning co. You can throw a snub mount on while you are down there if you dont have it already.

 

Wow, its like you read my mind! I was just going to edit that in. How difficult is it?

 

I was reading your mind.

All I did was pry off the old 1 with a flat head, sand down the edge of the new 1 (because i read a lot about to much vibs) and press it on. Took all of maybe 10min. including the sanding.
