Before putting the ABY into the ur I plan to make as many sensible changes as possible.
Next up is the timing belt. What would be a sensible amount of stuff to replace when down there? I anticipate the following:
belt, aduster, idler roller, water pump, crank pulley and fasteners, crank pulley bolt, front crank oil seal?
Is it worth changing the oil pump given that I don't know the mileage of the engine but it is certainly not 'done' judging by the amount of wear and maintenance I have ascertained. A deciding factor on the oil pump might be price. What do they cost new from any sources that supply them? I paid £180 for the one from Audi I replaced on the WR engine when I rebuilt it, is that typically or is replacing the oil pump really necessary?
Anything else i have forgot? Many TIA for any suggestions
