[V8] I know this must have been beaten to death and . . .

[Ed Kellock]

Just got to www.audifans.com and plug something into the Google search
box there.  I think you can preface it with www.audifans.com: ot focus
the search.

I think the timing belt job on a V8 is 10-12 hours book time.  My
first attempt took almost a year..  Lot's of uh, break time, you might
say.  I'm about to do it again, the first on my GF's car.  I intend to
finish that whole job in a weekend

what Audi Connection calls the 60000 mile service plus a couple of
other things I'll list.  The 60000mi. service primarily consists of
the timing belt/water pump replacement but then since its all apart
I'd also look to have the serpentine belt and viscous fan clutch and
bearing replaced.
