Default Timing Belt Replacement

Need to replace my timing belt on 2006 A3. Planning to do myself. Any advice? I realize that this is a rather long and complicated job but can it be done as a DIY? thanks

Brave man. since most of the cost is in labour and it really isn't too much of a deal I would go and have it done at an independent shop.

You need a special tool to properly time back the gears. Independent shop will be the same for me!

Which one did you go at?

I heard some really good words about CB garage on décarie and SG spécialiste VW in Laval.
