Re: '90 200q timing belt replacement

Tony Fordham asked: 
  How much should I expect to pay if I have a shop do this? 

I had this same work done on my 1990 Audi 200T last August.  I was thinking
about tackling it myself, but I thought if the cost was low enough, I'd pay
someone more experienced to do it.

I called a local reputable foreign auto repair shop and I quoted them a
price.  I told them if they could change my timing belt, water pump, and
tensioner pulley for $300 or less total (parts and labor) they could have my
business, otherwise, I'd tackle the job myself.  They said they'd check on
the cost of parts and get back to me.  15 minutes later they called back and
said they'd do the job for $300.

Let us know how you make out.
