so i went to a website, which i can't think of the name at the moment, but they were selling audi tt timing belts for $25..

so if the part is that, which it may or not be true, i don't know. How much should i expect to have to pay to replace the timing belt?

 

$900 parts/labor at non-dealership. $1300 at the dealer. This is for the 225. The 180 is cheaper.

 

It's mostly labor costs... the parts are involved are more than the TB too.

 

How much cheaper for the 180?

 

I got mine done by a certified import mechanic for 600 I supplied the timing belt kit 300ish to buy and he charged 300 for labour.

 

I think the 180 is about 300-ish less then the 225.
