[Biturbos4] Timing Belt replacement

[mike]

Just to confuse matters even more......mine (2000 euro
car) was done at 80 and 160k (miles).

The first one was done in the UK and cost £1000 the
second was done in Germany and cost 1000 euros (inc
water pump, cam seals, tensioners etc and an oil
change)
