Timing Belt: 12V 2.8

[david kroth]

Anyone ever change the timing belt in a 12v 2.8
engine?  My '95 A6 is past-due and I'm balking at
the $500 - $600 estimates I'm getting from the
dealer and independents.

I have the Bentley, but it is little short on
details for this procedure.  All the mechanics I've
spoken with did recommend changing the water pump
and idler/tension pulleys at the same time.

If there are any tricks to getting the old belt
off and new one on I'd appreciate hearing about
them.

Thanks!
