ORIGINAL POST below:
Any interest in doing your own T-belt with some AW with the special Audi tools needed for the job?
You'll need to order your own "kit" which most of the Audi/VW shops will have.
Follow this thread for info, time, DATE and location TBA.
<<If another Aug date works for you suggest it in your "Subject" line>>

Or would it be just a bunch of 1.8T owners who are taking a stab at changing the TB for the first time =P
I'm at 71k and am waiting for 75k to roll around and do the TB with a shop. But if I can just order a kit online and do it this way, I'd save about $800 in labor.

who have done it to assist/teach me at my fathers house. He has a lift in his garage and I would offer up food and adult beverages.

just swing away to one side and you can work on the front of the engine.

IF you have access to a lift, would you consider doing in at your location & date?
As noted Aug 4 is the NAAC clinic Alternative dates?
If I was going some where, I'll bring the A4 on a trailer so I can bring it (or another one) home or to a shop if trouble was encountered..........
