A 2016 Audi A4 2.0 TDI came into Car Vitals for a full timing belt kit and water pump replacement.

A Major Preventative Maintenance Job

Timing belt replacement on this engine involves a substantial amount of strip-down. The front of the vehicle has to be opened up to give proper access to the timing components so the work can be carried out correctly.

Full Timing Belt Kit Replaced

Rather than replacing the belt alone, the complete timing belt kit was renewed so the associated wear components were dealt with at the same time.

Water Pump Replaced at the Same Time

The water pump was also replaced while the timing system was stripped down. Doing this at the same time avoids paying for much of the same labour again if the pump fails later.

Correct Timing Procedure

The engine timing was set using the correct locking procedure before the vehicle was reassembled. Timing-belt work is one of those jobs where accuracy matters: cutting corners can lead to very expensive engine damage.

Why Preventative Replacement Matters

A timing belt is far cheaper to replace as planned than after a failure. Keeping on top of scheduled replacement intervals can help prevent serious internal engine damage and an unexpected breakdown.
