I am looking at a 1996 Audi A4 with a 2.8 liter engine. The car has 130,000 miles on it and has the original timing belt. The seller says the dealer wants $900 to change it. How difficult is this belt and what special tools are needed. I have in the past been able to make cam tools for other cars that require alignment tools for the dual cams. Any help would be great thanks

Knowing that it will cost you 2000$+ (jobber rate) a year to maintain it on the road, is it still appealing? I'd stay away.
Who says it costs $2000 pa to run an Audi?
In 4 yrs I have spent less than £1500k @ 160k miles now
