I am wondering what the cost would be to replace the timing belt on a 1999 Audi, A4? I am looking to buy this car but I have been warned about the cost if it breaks. If I am pro-active in replacing this BEFORE it breaks, what is the cost as opposed to waiting for it to break and then having it repaired? Thank you
Well, the labor on this specific Audi will be 5.5 hrs+ parts. the labor depends on the shop. every shop is different. lets say you brought it to my shop.my labor charge is 50 dollars an hour so, that will be a $275.00 labor charge added to the part cost which would be $220.44 for the timing belt and tensioner combined. this brings you to a total of $495.44 for the total repair. Keep in mind, this figure was calculated on the basis of a 50 dollar an hour labor charge. it can flucuate ethier way, depending on what shop you take this vihical to. I must say that, its better to replace it before it breaks and, it is a good rule of thumb to replace the water pump as well at the same time as this repair.
Please rate and have a great day:)
