well its come time to face the Timing Belt dragon, and I plan to slay it myself.(crossing fingers)
1999 A6 2.8l quattro
The timing belt is not damaged, its the stupid water pump!!!!! GRRRR

I find it odd at 60K for water pump damage... ive had buick and oldsmobiles go 140K+.

anyways...

Where did you gentlemen buy/order your TB kits from? any suggestions would be much appreciated.

and I did search, but the only place that keptpopping up was ecstuning... i figured there has to be somewhere else that sells a complete kit
