So I am sick of searching. Have gone throught 35 pages of searching and cannot find anything about 2.8 timing belts. I have a 2000 2.8Q A4 that is about to hit 80k and i need to do the timing belt replacement. I am assuming that the tensioner also needs to be replaced and am wondering where a good place to get the whole kit is. I remember seeing someone make a suggestion on here a while back but cannot find it for the life of me.Also, is there anything else that needs replaced around this milage? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

 

I think I bought mine from Blauparts. You can also Google the models parts. Change the waterpump and all the pulley bearings. They don't cost that much and saves the hassle of a failure later which could be very costly. When I went into mine the only suspect bearing was the water pump (slightly loose) but I changed everything. Buy the Bentley manual, it is worth it. B.

 

Ecs or Blau but youll need the tool or the know how for making your own.

 

www.ecstuning.com probably has all sorts of kits.

 

so, Have gone throught 35 pages of searching and cannot find anything about 2.8 timing belts.??? where did u search???? there is a lot of info in this forum about that.... you need timing belt and water pump at the same time.... ectuning its a good place i can recommend that...
