timing belt change

[Per Lindgren]

I just did this on my Cq just 3 weks ago. I didnt replace the front seal
though, as it's not leaking or showing any signs of age on my car.

The seal is on the oil pump page, and has p/n 034 115 147A.

I remember from this list that the waterpump shall always be replced
with a new belt, if not the pump will eat the belt. I couldnt remember
why, maybe someone could enlighten us? Anyways, I just replaced the
waterpump anyways, I figured that it would be nice to have it replaced
when everything was separated.
