Which Timimg belt for Audi 7A?

[mihai_antony]

Hello guys

I need to buy a new timing belt for my 7A (first version ECU 2 connectors), I saw that are 3 codes but the belt are very similar. Do you know what are the differences and what code I should buy?

054109119A or 054109119G

Thank you
Mihai

i think is the same than 3b, the water pump is the same, the crack pulley is the same...

Yes but what P/N I should buy for 7A? Also the price is different, G version is almost 3x vs A version

I recently bought a Gates belt for my 7A, part no. on invoice is X5182XS
Maybe this'll help?

The *A* par no was dropped in June 1997 and replaced with the *G* part no.

Thank you guys! Really appreciate your inputs

I will order A p/n, my car is form 1990

I think what Audicted is saying is the part number changed in '97 so you will only get a "G" belt?

I found also "A" p/n at Audi dealer here in RO. 30EUR
"G" p/n is 80EUR

Gates belt for G part number costs 14 euros. This is ridiculously overpriced.

Gates 5182XS - 14 euros
Contitech CT926 - 23 euros
Bosch 1987949141 - 18 euros

I have a Gates belt on my AAN. Does its job perfectly.
