I've found an INA timing belt kit INA 530045210, which is the same as MJ's invoice for the work on my car.

Cam belt kit recommendation please

As the title, I’m looking for a good quality cam/timing belt kit (plus water pump and thermostat) for my 2002 S8.

My garage can’t find the kit and Sean has suggested Contitech from Autodoc.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks, Jim

Re: AC and Radiator Gripe

Well, with many thanks to Marcel and his friend in Poland who sourced this hose for me, all is now well with my aircon. Just in time for a trip later this month back to Cumbria.
