Default So Many Timing Belt Makers and Only One Car

Hey guys and ladies. I'm changing my timing belt, tensioners, pulleys and water pump. On ebay they have different kits. They say the belts are OEM. Anybody have luck with these kits or any other websites? Anybody know what "brand" or maker of audi's oem timing belt? One of the kits says the brand of the belt is 58109119C Continental Conti Tech Original Equipment Timing Belt.
Thank you!!!<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volkswagen-Passat-Audi-A4-1-8-Timing-Belt-Upgrade-KIT_W0QQitemZ250087508291QQihZ015QQcategoryZ33625Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volkswagen-Passat-Audi-A4-1-8-Tim

Default 2nd....Bigtime

I just did one with a PureMS kit. Perfect. You may also want to look into changing the seals while you're in there.

Default Suggestions On Tools? I see tool kits to install but non for a 1.8t.

You know where I can get a tool kit? My friends a mechanic and is going to help me (practically do it) with the installation. I'm looking at a total kit like these two. I appreciate it.

Default i want to switch out the pulleys, seals, pump all of it because if i don't it will go.

that's what happens to me. if i have the front end off i mine as well do it all the way. that's why i like these two kits.

Default We've got a great kit.

Depending on your car year, we've got full kits available which include everything you need for the timing belt service.

All of our timing belt components are VERIFIED Genuine OEM manufacturers. We don't use lower tier components to save costs.

All of our components come from the genuine manufacturer like NTN, INA, Dayco, Continental, and others.

Check out our site as we've got everything you need, included the new updated G12+ coolant, genuine Audi/VW brand, not outdated old Pentosin G12.
