And also I found a nice kit from ECS http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B6_A4-...Kit/ES2528798/

Strange fact: In my maintenance guide the say that the timing belt has to be changed at 105.000 miles or 155.000km. I had mine did at 90k miles, but why everybody change their belt so early if in the guide they say 105k miles??

Thanks for your reply.
for the timing belt, that is their recommendation but if something bad happens they will deny knowing your car and at that time you will wish you had it done at 50kmiles not 90k miles.

Thanks for posting the link! All the oils we carry are synthetic so either kit will work for your vehicle.
