Thread title says it all. I have an '01 S4 and I really don't want to spend the bucks to have the dealership fix it. I've searched the net for some DIY stuff and have not had any luck. I'm looking for some direction to find a decent repair manual, or DIY posting about the belt.

 

ill just say its easy if you have small hands.. lol.. remove the bottom plastic panel that covers the oil pan and other vital stuffs.. i think you need a 17 mm wrench to release tension on the tensioner and you should be able to snake a belt in and out..

i dont think you have to remove the fan.. just snake it around it.

 

i dont think you have to do radiator and bumper either.. depends on how agile you are..

 

the only hard part is going to be snakin it back on the right way

 

Thanks for the quick response. I think I'm going to tear into it this weekend.

 

that alldatapro link wont work, need a membership to the site

 

just get a timing belt write up, only do the first couple steps . you dont need tiny hands you will need to take the bumper and radiator off. its alot easier then it seems. gl
