Timing belt on 1996 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8 Turbo

SOURCE: how to change a timing belt on an audi a4 1996

It is fairly easy, you do need a special cam alignment too, it can be purchased online for $99. You also need a 2 jaw puller to remove the cam gears.

Care must be taken when servicing this engine as it is an interference engine and if the belt is installed wrong the valves will be bent.
