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

The INA kit is OE but is getting very hard to find now. Conti or Gates are also good.
Genuine only for the water pump and thermostat. Aftermarket options are all a bit crap, and you do not want to have to go back in there. The OE thermostat doesn't come with a seal - that needs ordering separately. Also replace all the torx head bolts on the pump and thermostat housing. The D2 shares the same parts with the D3 so they are still available from TPS.
