Anyone recommend where I can buy a cam belt kit for a ABZ V8

Was quoted $1200.00 + by Ebberts in Hamilton---I thought just a bit much

Anyone overseas recommended??

Cheers

What has bought this on Lee, was it due, or did something else happen.

Well---- apart from stuffing the clutch--

As the engine has to come out again--I thought it best to do the belt as well.

The idlers sound very worn.

The clutch plate has been contaminated and won't let go so it needs attention

Ive done about 7k since it was certified ---lots of fun getting it sorted

550 nm of torque makes it very easy to drive--like 90 degree corners in 5th

Well i suppose its not so bad, i would have made sure the basic engine stuff was cool before i put it in.

That clutch has me guessing, was the adapter plate any reason why the clutch was a problem or was  the rear seal leaking.

I guess with more torque than my S4 in a car on a diet would be fun to drive.
Are you sure you need a gearbox at all, might save some weight.......................... >:D

Autohaus.
My customer is getting everything he needs to do the full jobby on his new A4 quattro 1.8t from there and it is WAY cheaper than from here.
But difficult for any comeback if you do do the job correctly yet it still fails....usually don't tho.
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?
