Shop around, it's worth it.
Sure glad I did not get a 3.0 engine. Makes me wonder how much it will cost on my 06 S4 4.2L !!!
I think I'll sell it before it gets time to do it.

mmazerolle: I've talked to 4 companies and they are all quoting me the same price (give or take 10%). As far as doing it myself, I'm a technical nincompoop. I take my car to the mechanic to change light bulbs....

I meant it as a joke.... have you seen the pics ? It's not a DIY job.
And... the 06 S4 4.2 has a chain, not a belt. Good news for me.
I feel for you.... it's a lot of money.
Good luck

LOL, yeah I just looked at the link. That looks like crazy work, and yeah, it's a lot of money. But as they saying goes "You've got to pay, if you want to play"

Thanks guys. I'm going to go with the Bosch parts, I agree they are a quality product and as Genekam said, I wouldn't be surprised if the OEM parts are actually Bosch parts.
Have a great weekend guys! My bro's on this forum rock!!
