Wheel replacement tool

Well, my plastic tool that came with the car (and with the TTS) is pretty knackered, so I've replaced it with this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186948574439.

I can confirm that it fits well and appears to be very well made.

Re: Headlight washer pump and Viscous fan coupling

I’m wondering if, as I’m replacing the headlight washer pump (plus seals and connector) and the viscous fan coupling/clutch, should I also replace the screen washer pump (and seals and connector) as a precaution? If so, can you gurus let me have part numbers again?

Headlight washer pump and Viscous fan coupling

Can anyone find these part numbers for me please? My S8 is booked in for a timing belt etc and I thought I’d get these done while the front of the car is off. Thanks.

Re: Cam belt kit recommendation please

I ordered one from a French company who said this kit wasn’t compatible, but MJ, Mike and Dean all say it is!

Re: Cam belt kit recommendation please

No, it didn't! So I phoned them and they're out of stock. To**ers!

So, now I'm looking at Contitech CT920WP2 but, although it looks to be compatible, the blurb says "Vehicle Identification Number from
4B-Y-085 001; 4D-Y-016 501"

My VIN isn't anything like this, it's WAUZZZ4D63N001186

Re: Cam belt kit recommendation please

Well, the INA kit is out of stock, so I'm going to go for a Contitiech kit, but which of these is the right one?

Re: Cam belt kit recommendation please

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

Can anyone confirm that this is correct please?
