    Hi Guys,

    I need a timing belt for the car and am trying to spread the cost over a few weeks ie buying the kit now and then get it replaced in a couple of weeks

    I was on micks garage - Is the site good for selecting the right parts from your car reg and what else should I be purchasing ?


    Or would I be better going into motor factors shop to order

    I don't want to buy crap but at the same time I want to try and make the best saving I can

    Audi a4 b6 2002 100bhp
    thanks
    Daz

    I'd only use a gates or continental(contitech) belt. They both sell kits with all the tensioners, bolts, washers etc.

    It's up to you to order the right parts if your getting it online. The kit will have a reference number. Google it and make sure it's correct kit for your model/year/engine code/chassis no. Your reg. may not be enough on it's own. The continental website has good parts reference documents.

    You may or may not save money buying it yourself. Many places doing them now for 350-400 euro all in.

    The timing belt kits changed from one type to another on those engines in 2002 so you are better off just getting a garage to do the whole job for you. Otherwise you risk getting the wrong kit.

    Also, if you supply the parts to the garage and something goes wrong then you will likely be stuck in the middle as the supplier will be blaming the garage and vice versa.
