That's it. Trying to contact Audi, see what they want for such a thing, and need the bolt also.

TPS is the parts company used by VW, Audi & others - you can buy without an account though. Their should be a local one near you - at or close to the dealer usually.

Take your time and inspect all carefully... you confused me when you said the cam was aligned and the crank was not - lol - they are out of alignment... just hope you haven't bashed valves etc.

Check that crank pulley super well and replace it if you have any doubts... I would replace the relay roller/pulley on the belt tensioner bracket as well for good measure along with the bottom bolt.

PS - http://www.s2forum.com/forum/attachm...0&d=1276876987 - that shows the alignment of the three crucial sensors.

G4 - crank position pulse in blue
G28 - flywheel teeth in yellow (engine rpm)
G40 - camshaft position sensor in green - it is active low for 16 flywheel teeth every TWO crankshaft rotations

Note how G4 arrives in the middle of G40 pulse - when you see this you know that things are aligned properly.

Timing belt kit was changed some 10k miles back, so I won't be changing that.

I didn't hear any BANGS so hope all 20 valves are fine

Do I have to be a company of some sort to buy from them? Or I can just call them up and see if they have them?

TPS will sell to joe bloggs like me and you no problem - you can usually get 10% discount or more off list by paying cash so don't be afraid to ask.

[hunker7]

Just called them up...and they don't have either bolt or the sprocket.

Tried Pete at 'quattro corner' ?

[S2central.net]

If all else fails - TPS can generally order anything in... can take a few days if its coming from Germany though, but usually next day if its sitting at Satan's lay-by (aka Milton Keynes).

[hunker7]

Just called up Audi, and they quoted me £34 for the pulley, and £23 for the bolt. Cheap as chips, but they said closes Audi that could have them is 2.5 hour drive from me

TPS said they don't carry either of the parts.

[S2central.net]

TPS only stock what is common, but they absolutely can order anything. Anyway - you are in luck with the parts at a dealership so close by - get in !

[hunker7]

Quattro corner can do bolt for £19 and £40-something for the pulley..neat.

How do you know the timing belt kit was changed 10k ago? Was it the same person that skimped on the water pump, ****ed up timing it and tensioning it?
I would question the entire job, and do it again properly with good quality parts, if I was you

I have a receipt from a garage it was done in. I am sure water pump wasn't changed because then whole front has to come off. And you can see that the belt is new as well as tensioner. But i will check it once i take it off.

I assume you got a crank locking tool on the way ?

Please god don't try and do this by thinking you can lock it up with the gearbox !!!
