Perfect part for my vehicle

Ideal part for my car is a car. The water pump works as expected, the timing belt is fine. The toothed belt is thicker than a normal belt. I would highly recommend purchasing this belt and this whole set.

Pros
  • Complete solution for every application: includes belts, tensioners, tensioners, tension springs, water pump, accessories, detailed installation instructions and technical service bulletins for problematic applications
Cons
  • Quality

The water pump bearing DOES NOT HOLD!

I have installed this kit in 2 of my cars. 2003 A4 B6 1.8t quattro 5sp and 2004 A4 B6 1.8t quattro 6sp. The water pump bearing was stuck on every car and cost me a cylinder head replacement on both cars. Don't do like me and use a German stock water pump instead. This will save you the headache and heartache that comes with engine failure. In 2003 it was 30,000 miles and in 2004 it was 47,000 miles. The belt and other components in the kit work properly.

Pros
  • Water pumps are designed and built for long lasting efficient cooling
Cons
  • Good but not great

Wrong pulley and tensioner

For some reason Revain showed this to be compatible with a 2001 Audi TT when I bought the kit. It's not relevant. I managed to just use the timing belt and water pump that came with it. Tensioner and pulley are for newer 1.8 liter engines and will not fit 00-05 TT models. As I had already installed the water pump and timing belt before I found out it was too late to return the item. The timing belt is excellent, the water pump is good with a metal impeller. I'll still rate it 4 stars as it's…

Pros
  • Everything you need to run properly all in one box
Cons
  • Can I add anything
