A4 1.8T Timing Belt
Just a quick question to all of you. How much should a timing belt
install cost on a 98 A4 with a 1.8? I would do the job myself, but I know I will not have a full day free for over a month and I've put this off too long as it is. I'n in downstate N.Y. Thanks, Dave |

IIRC, the timing belt and idler pulleys, etc. (no water pump though) was about $800-ish at an independent shop. Give or take $100. Call around to some shops, it's a fairly standard maintenance item, I'm sure they can give you a price. -- Andrew L.

Re: A4 1.8T Timing Belt
Get somebody to help you with mechanical exp and it will take you a
day. Go to the library and get a manual for the car and check it out. My manual it has 3 pages of step by step inst. I'm doing mine in a couple of months. I'm having a friend thats a mech do it. I called a audi dealership and they told me its worth changing the water pump also because it's right there. They told me 1200, because its mainly labor. I hung up on them! Go to audiworld.com they have some tech post on it, actually alot. On 5 Jul 2003 08:19:04 -0700, dredd75@aol.com (Dave) wrote: >Just a quick question to all of you.

Re: A4 1.8T Timing Belt
FYI -
If you are going to do this, make certain you consult the information located in the spare tire wheel well (at least on my 2000 A4 1.8T) and get the engine type right. Mine is an ATW and this is the only place on the entire car I can find this information.
