timing belt and b5s4 brake help

**texasboy21** · 11-19-2008 08:20 AM

So i need a few maintenance things done, specifically timing belt, rear brake pads (fronts could use it too), tranny fluid, and new brake fluid. A local shop (Ausitn texas) wanted about $850 including parts and labor for that above. Me being on this board too much knows i can spend that money much better by doing it myself over Christmas break (yeaahhh for no school or work or assignments or PAPERSS!!!!) so i need help finding the best deals.

So my plan is B5S4 fronts and timing belt at least. Ive got front calipers $250
b5s4 front pads $??
b5s4 rotors $??
stock a4 rear pads $??
bleeder tool $??
rear pad compressor tool $??
fluid $??
timing belt kit (i dont know from where) $??

Now i know theres a lot of ?? there but i really need to stretch every dollar. also i may be leaving a few things out so let me know. also on top of all that i would also like to get some new brake lines, rears minimum. Are there any specility tools needed for the TB job? thanks for your help!

You can also get the tools from ECS but the rear pad tool you can also get from autozone as a rental.

They also have timing belt kits. I suggest the 'Ultimate Kit' for around $250

You don't need the camshaft or crankshaft seals unless they are leaking. You can pick up coolant separately.
