Default Ordering Timing Belt kit TODAY, where should I get it from and what should I get...
Ok guys,

My '97 A4 1.8T Automatic has 73,000 miles and has never had its timing belt changed. I'm getting a little worried here, and want to do it soon.

I need to order parts very soon, where is the place for highest quality parts at the best price?

I know ECS has their kit, but is there concern that some of their parts are not OEM? It comes with the updated tensioner right?

Besides the kit, what else should I get?

Default Get the Ultimate Timing Belt kit from ECS
It has everything you need. Parts may not be OEM but are of good quality (made in Germany).
