Timing Belt change A4 B5 2.5tdi V6

[Shaun2017]

Hey guys, so im looking at doing my timing belt,water pump,thermostat and auxiliary belt at some point, and wondered if anyone could point in the right direction for a guide or something similar, ive done 4 cylinder engine belts but never a V6.

Ive heard its a pig of a job, and i know the front of the car has to come off. Just looking for some insider knowledge or a spare hand .
Also i have been advised to do the hydraulic pulley as the car is at 157,000. Is this something worth doing? Im in the mindset of 'whilst its off'

Cheers guys

waterpump and thermostat is a must.

I cant give you any advice on doing the job, never touched a 2.5tdi, but you could try giving adamss24 a message as hes well versed in them.
