Hello to all you Audiworld fellow.
I live IN washington Dc. I have a 2001 1.8T, non quattro. The car has now 105K miles.I am in a situation where I need help from somebody. I need to change the Timing Belt and water pump.
The car now is running but I think after reading a lot of your reviews that my timing belt is long due. My mechanic today told me that he does not have the tools to do this job. I am stuck in a situation where its atleast 1000 usd. I see a lot of reviews and posts where some fellows have done this themselves.
I was wondering is there anybody out there who has done this before, who would like to help me as well. I offcourse can help but I am not that confident and have never done a timing belt before. I can drive up some distance, can bring food and drinks and offcourse if there is any compensation that you would like we can discuss that too. please email me.

I can order all the required parts, but dont have those important tools.
Help a friend in need!
Thank You all, your feedback on this is highly appreciated.

Any mechanic has the tools. Any basic tool kit has everything needed.

His mechanic thinks he has a 2.8 most likely for the Cam Tensioner tool me thinks.

So his mechanic is not very smart or observant.

And should be avoided from this day on........

Maybe he just did not want to do it, or was not very confident doing it. Now the question is is anybody want to help me out in this situation? I am mechanically inclined but not very much confident. Somebody with experience will really help.

I offered, but you must be blind it was the first response look below!

Thank you. Thats so nice of you. Actually your message never said you wanted to help. All it said was that you are doing your and a a friend of yours doing his.
Anyways, may be a misunderstanding. Maybe you can call me sometimes at 202 492 4176 to discuss in detail or I can call you too. I think thats a good idea to talk in detail.
Thanks.
