$250 plus parts is a very good price, get that timing belt done or else you will need a new engine. Where is your shop located motortrendz

 

[motortrendz]

I'm based out of toms river but were a mobile shop we do onsite work for most stuff, bigger things I do at my house in the garage... I do a lot of commercial fleets to help them stay moving and we service them on thir job sites so they don't have down time and are controlling theire funds by not having their employees sitting at a shop waiting to get the truck serviced.. bc if they're not working they're not producing.. plus how ,uch is the employher loosing to do that 150$ brake job when they have tp put off a job for 2 hrs and pay thir employee the 2 hrs to sit there and wait... it'll wind up costing 3 times that when u add up the rality so I do very well...

which a4 do u have is it the 1.8 or the 2.0 ?

 

[fcamargo6thave]

1.8

 

[stage3-S4]

7 Hours? i can do it in about 3-4 hours on jack stands without a lift. I have done about 4 of them now. The key is to have the camlockbar tool. I would never do one without it.

 

[rickytsui]

the 2nd one sound about right there is a big diff in 1.8 and 2.0 for the engine bay 1.8 have alot more room to work with =) and try to use oem parts for audi
