If there's one job on your Audi that won't tolerate shortcuts or mistakes, it's a timing belt replacement. There are no do-overs to be had - get it right the first time, or pay. We know what it takes to do this job. That's why our ultimate timing belt kits include the things you need to do a trouble-free, lasting t-belt service: premium timing belt plus tensioners, rollers, seals, water pump and thermostat.

Being on the front of your vehicle, the grille on your car is exposed to dirt, debris, sun and all of the other elements.

Your factory Audi rings will not transfer over to this grille so we have included the proper fitting Audi rings in this kit. Replacements available as es2165168.

At minimum a few bent valves, or at worst a whole new engine totaling thousands in repairs. We at ECS have a great tutorial available showing you how to get it done, along with complete service kits and a full line of necessary tools!
