[s-cars] T-belt and RS2 R&R - What else while I'm in there?

[Robert Myers]

After seeing the condition of the crank pulley the last time I did 
the TB on my S6 I would recommend replacing it with every timing 
belt.  The "key" on mine was totally gone and the only thing keeping 
the pulley from slipping on the crank was friction.  If that sucker 
had slipped...  Well, it would be the equivalent of a broken TB.
