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

[Mark Pollan]

Yep, those would be the obvious ones Sean.  Why not the seals?  I dunno
really other than my dearly departed 5KTQ was sent away with 340K miles (5
t-belt changes by yours' truly) and I never changed those seals and no
leaks.  For some peculiar reason I just don't trust myself with the seals.
Maybe I will muster up the courage this go around.  Same goes for the crank
pulley Bob.  No issues after 5 t-belts.  Were they more robust on the MC or
was I just lucky or both?  Was it the key that was mangled or the slot for
the key on your pulley?  How much are those pulleys BTW?

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.
