I have an 02 A6 3.0 and I'm looking at a timing belt job. Recently, the dealer quoted me a quick number of $1800 for the job. Generally when a dealer does a timing belt, are they including the WP and tensioners or is it usually just the belt? I plan to go and get clarification, but just curious what to expect for that cost! Any insight appreciated.

 

for that cost it better include a lot more tan a belt....
Go to an Indy shop. Yo should pay 1000-1300

 

MOST of the time the dealer will include everything needed, but there is a few shady tree dealers out there so make sure your getting everything.
T belt, water pump, thermostat, tensioners, and rollers.
Out here in cali we charge $135 an hour, so a T belt job with all the trimmings on a 3.0L engine would be over 2 grand.
