Such a fun job
Timing belt, roller, waterpump, thermostat, accessory belts (if needed), new coolant, front main seal (if needed), cam seal (if needed).
There are alot of little things you could say "Well, I might wanna do that since Im in there..."
Just depends on how crazy ya are

Where are you getting it done?
The TB/Waterpump is due on the 95q, and I'm thinking of tackling it myself. I'm just curious where you're taking it, and how much you've been quoted to have it done. You're in TO right?

Re: Where are you getting it done?
Yep Mississauga. Getting it done at The Audi-VW shop in mississauga. Great guy. Quoted about $600 including parts and labour. 20V needs the front bumper taken off though to get to it. Dont know what entails your 95q. I do recommend this shop. Tony D took his coupe there aswell.

The job can be done with the front bumper left on.
If it were my car, I'd be concerned with the added labor charges to R&R the front bumper...

How much is the shop charging to R&R the bumper?
Its not needed to R&R the timing belt on the I5 motor.
Why pay extra money, for additional proceedures, thats not needed?
I've changed dozens of Audi timing belts on various I5's and never once removed the bumper!
