Oh and also I believe you need around £300 worth of tools. jhmotorsport in the USA rent these out apparently there might be a company in the uk that does the same

Cfoster the service book says they should be serviced at 85k but then if you speak to audi they are a life time part and do not have to be serviced. That said early cars, parts are prone to fail, mainly the tensioners, so the new parts have since been updated
