Ok. So Im going to get my timing belt done. By a really good indy. Ive been searching around and this is the parts list i found so far
timing belt
serpentine belt
t belt tensioner
water pump
thermostat
t belt roller
cam seals
crank seal
Can anyoen else think of anything else i should get done?
Silicone tbb is gonna wait. $$$
P.S. its a 2001.5 A6 2.7t. My indys got the tools
He says theres an updated tensioner or somethign I need to look for and also he said by all tensioners and rollers it needs.
Am I missing anything good?
Thanks guys.
New job. I cant really search as much as id like
PPS. Where to buy parts? Need em fast. I have a good foreign parts store that gave me the price on all of that stuff minus the seals for $210.

On the allroad board there was an issue when one of the newly installed tensioners failed (and basically blew up the engine). luckily the Indy made good on everything, but what a mess.

my metal one failed

going to replace anything else while you're in there? like upgrade diverter valves to 710N if you haven't already?

I've had my engine comp reprogrammed by GIAC to 1 bar, and replaced the tbb with a factory piece at the same time. (the old one was cracking). That was over a year ago, and I've had no problems, even with my maniac driving, and it still looks good. The way I figure, If I replace the tbb every year, regardless of whether or not it needs to be done, it will be eight years before it would be worth it to buy a silicone tbb. (I think I paid 12 bucks for mine). Of note, when I do my semi annual engine cleaning, I spray ALL rubber underhood with silicone spray, it keeps it flexible.
