Re: timing belt and water pump
Did you ever get the timing belt replaced? I just did mine last weekend. I was Audi/VW tech for 8 years. Im contemplating doing these belt replacements from home if there's any interest. Realistically the job takes 4-5hrs.
However if your mechanically inclined and up for the challenge, I would suggest doing it yourself and saving some $$$. I would say for the novice it would take 6-7hrs.

Re: timing belt and water pump
Audi Barrie is charging 99/h and i think that is too much!!!would die if it was 120/h...they have started charging you for washing your car (extra $49)...i think that is wrong, when i got my car they told me everytime i had work done on my car they would have it washed for me...so ?

Re: timing belt and water pump
Did you get your timing belt done yet? I'm curious because I need to do mine next spring and am wondering how your cost worked out. Let us know if you ended up getting it done at the Barrie dealership. Is this something AMI motorsports could also possibly take care of?
