My first "Belt" on a V6-12v , - Any Gotcha's ?

You asked:

"Hi list

Subject pretty much says it all.

Im doing my first toothbelt-rollers-waterpump-thermostat change.

Car is a '93 80 2.6

As i remember from my 200tqa there was an issue with a bolt reaching
into oil galleries, i'd appreciate any heads-up with this Audi
deamon  ;-) 

Is there any good websites ?

Is there any repair manual covering the v6-12v ?"

Get a Bentley manual if you can find one.  I don't know of any websites with descriptive articles on V6 belt replacement, but there's probably something out there ............ IMO, and I'm an Audi tech of 35 years experience, you really need the proper tools for positioning/locking the cams and the crankshaft.  There are no surprises lurking in there that I can recall, although reinstalling some of the belt cover bits can be an adventure.  Plan on a serp belt tensioner, they have a nasty habit of failing after they've been disturbed.

Oh, BTW, I have a multi volume factory manual for that car, and I'm considering putting it up for sale.  Retirement beckons more loudly every day!
