all teh timing belt and water pump stuff as long as the engine it out. Add about another $300. Keep in mind all this is PARTS ONLY and I got a pretty good deal on some of it.

I bought a 2001 with 75,000 miles, had a mechanic check it over, then had the timing belt changed.

How much did you pay for Timing Belt change?

Here in DC Audi dealer quoted me $1900..Then I found shop that specializes in VW/Audi's and they quoted me $900!

Do you guys know how much labor hours they should charge ny audi guideline to do the job?

Went to audi specialist last night and car checked out ok. He couldn't find anything wrong with it. Well he did found that right tire rod end was busted but that will be replaced today.

So tomorrow I will become a happy S4 owner :-)!!

He also said he could change my timing belt for $600 on the side compared to the $1900 for the job at audi dealership he works for...go figure!

Thanks for your input guys!!!
