i need to do a timing belt on my 98 2.8, and I figured lets do the belt, tensioner,belt rollers,water pump,thermostat,coolling hoses. so my mechanic told me it was about $850.00 parts and labor. The parts are all Audi factory parts.
But i just went to AllOEM parts and found thst the prices for some of these parts cheap. My question is. Has anyone ever order timing belt parts from this place and if it a good idea to get parts from this place?

Mind you I have a 12V, but its pretty much the same procedure. It was pretty simple, and straight forward. The job took about 5 hours with a break for lunch. I also ordered my parts from allOEM. great service.

I did mine on my 30v, pump, t-stat, the 2 rollers, and the serp belt in 6 hours working slow, half watching a football game.
