Default use of Bosch parts

I recently bought a 2004, 2.7 allroad tipronic, that needs the 75k service. I'm considering ann indy doing the work - timing belt etc. - but not sure about his use of Bosch parts. Any experience? Are they the same as Audi parts?

It depends.
Bosch is an OE supplier to Audi for a number of parts. However on the 2.7T Bosch doesn't actually manufacture those components for Audi. The rollers are made in NTN and INA, the belt by Dayco. While Bosch in general makes very good components, since they aren't the OEM to Audi for these specific parts, you can't be guaranteed that the parts from Bosch are of the same quality that the OE parts should be.

Our Timing belt kit uses all OE parts from INA, NTN, and Dayco. It's a fantastic kit that includes everything you need to perform the timing belt service.

We've literally sold hundreds of these, and all the reviews are outstanding, so you can be assured that you're getting the highest quality kit.

The only reliable way to buy the same OE parts as sold by Audi is it learn what specific part numbers you need (not Audi part number but a given manufacturer's part number) and buy these from auto parts store/tuners.
