Timing belt kits

[Don_n_Herbie]

Well at 72k Herbie has started to leak from his water pump not bad yet just enough to get my attention.

Was wondering who has the best timing belt kit at the best price.

also was wondering if any one has the tools need for sale or barrow.

car is a 2003 1.9 alh engine

dieselgeek.com has a complete timing belt kit. You might want to give them a lookover. I've got to do the same, my 02 tdi has 83K.

I will second the kit sold by DieselGeek

You can also get a kit from MetalMan. He is a little cheaper and he has a tool rental option.

I would try to hook up with someone who:

1. Has the tools
2. Has Vag-Com
3. Has done a few TB.

Good luck.

mine was 325 from boraparts.com

If you want to do it yourself you should be able to rent the tools for $50

THE Dieselgeek kit looks sweet might have to go that route hopes Herbie holds out till i can save up the cash.

Anyone else have any other suggestions

I will second the Metalman parts kit..

its very comprehensive and doesnt include anything you wont need.

Ditto on the kit from Dieselgeek.com.
The water pump removal screws included in the kit are great and make that part of the job really easy.
If you intend to do the job yourself, make sure you have all the proper tools whether you rent them or purchase them.
