[A4] Timing belt/water pump question

[aaron...]

It has been a long time since I did mine...but goto a good german part 
shop and order up the metal h20 to motor gasket.  I am sure the one that 
came w/ your kit is fine.  I know the early ones had issues....but for 
another $15 it might be worth it to not have to go in there for anther 60k.
