These must be changed every 60k km's or 4 years, originally it was 90k but they started to break aswell with the engine...
Mine cost around $750 for a timing belt kit and new coolant drive in and out, Audi's can only use G12 coolant which you can only get from the dealer and costs $25 for a top up bottle. also they will check the age of the water pump and 60% of the time they will advise you to change it becasue they come with a plastic tip and can get brittle. costs will add around $300.

Ahh...
Nothing beats the ability of being able to put an Audi/VW into service mode (Pulling the front off)

Yeah, because they're chain-driven 
You can do a Hyundai Excel/Accent one in an hour, if you've done a few before. I've seen a guy do one in 45mins, but he was seriously pissed-off, so he had motivation

A mate used to pull the motor out to do them. If it were a manual, it meant he could up-sell a clutch at the same time.
If it's like any other part of a Subaru I've dealt with, pulling the motor out should be pretty easy.

That's nice.
But maintaining a European car is of most importance. As is speaking/typing proper English

Why? Because you've got no idea?
Dude, I work on Euros for a living. I know what dumbshit customers are up for when they skimp on services.
