hi has anyone used these for cambelt kits www.blauparts.com ,or should you
just use main dealer for these, is it worth changing themostat aswell as waterpump,
and alternater, where do you stop? mines due now at 58000 miles

Buy genuine Audi from TPS. You want to do the cambelt,watrerpump,thermostat and all the associated rollers/dampers too. Whilst your at it, it is a good chance to replace/repair your intercoolers if they are leaking.

Tony, DIY job or going somewhere for it?

I did some surfing on the blauparts kits and there was alot of negative comments from the US forums...
Landed up buying an SKF kit with an OE belt, water pump and t stat. Fitted it myself and thought the SKF kit was first class

still unsure who to use, how do you repair the coolers?

Jd weld. You need a pack for each end of the cooler.

I like SKF for bearings and timing belts. I've worked there and they are a high quality manufacturer.

We're able so supply and post out a full genuine kit if required.

thanks Grizz, shame your so far away, do you supply the Jd weld for the coolers that chunky
recommends

You have QST in your sort of area, as well as 4 rings in Dartford (Mobile!) and AMD Essex if memory serves:
