The simple fact is this - *all* cars need these things, and it's not
just Audi that requires them. In fact, if you want to know about
expensive timing belt changes, look at Lexus or Acura. Audi is pretty
cheap in comparison.

I don't know, my 2001 A4 (2.8L V6) timing belt was in excess of $850
with water pump, thermostat, belts, labor, etc .... our 1999 ES300
(V6) was just over $450 for all of the parts and labor. Both were at
independents that specialized in their respective makes.

The last 2.8L car I had the timing belt done on (within the last
couple of years) had all that stuff done for just under $500,
including crank seal.

But I have found that some independents charge book time no matter
what. My place charges actual time, which makes a big difference.
