Correct kit, no surprises
Fitted to my 2006 A4 B7. I did the water pump and rollers at the same time since the front was already off. Everything in the box matched the parts diagram with nothing missing. Result is the top-end rattle on cold start has completely gone. Delivery was quick too.

Everything lined up
Replacement for my 2015 S3 8V 2.0 TFSI. The chain has proper hardened links rather than the soft pins on cheap copies. Locking tools on, marks aligned, and it timed up exactly where it should. Result is the top-end rattle on cold start has completely gone. Cannot fault it.

Correct kit, no surprises (A4 B9)
Ordered this for my A4 B9 after the original gave up at 53k. The chain has proper hardened links rather than the soft pins on cheap copies. I booked it in with a specialist rather than risk an interference engine on the driveway. Result is no more chain slap on start-up, which was what prompted the job. Happy to recommend it.

Peace of mind on an interference engine
Bought for a 2012 A1 8X. The tooth profile and belt width are indistinguishable from the part that came off. Locking tools on, marks aligned, and it timed up exactly where it should. Result is timing has held perfectly through 12,000 miles since fitting.

Quiet engine again
Fitted to my 2010 A5 8T. Everything in the box matched the parts diagram with nothing missing. I booked it in with a specialist rather than risk an interference engine on the driveway. Result is the top-end rattle on cold start has completely gone. Would order again without hesitation.

Complete and correct
Ordered this for my Q3 8U after the original gave up at 42k. Everything in the box matched the parts diagram with nothing missing. I did the water pump and rollers at the same time since the front was already off. Result is the engine is noticeably quieter at idle than it has been for a year. No complaints at all.

Rattle on start-up gone
My Q8 4M needed this doing at 166k miles. The tooth profile and belt width are indistinguishable from the part that came off. A weekend job with the right locking kit and a service manual open next to me. Result is the top-end rattle on cold start has completely gone. Happy to recommend it.
