How do I change the timing belt on my Audi A2?

My Audi A2's timing belt recently broke and I need to replace it. What are the steps to changing the timing belt and what tools will I need?

First, gather all the necessary tools including a wrench, socket set, and timing belt kit. Then, remove the serpentine belt and crankshaft pulley. After that, loosen the tensioner and remove the old timing belt. Install the new timing belt following the same path as the old one. Finally, reattach the crankshaft pulley and serpentine belt.

I recommend consulting your vehicle's owner manual for specific instructions and diagrams. Make sure to properly torque all the bolts and check for any leaks or strange noises after the replacement. If you're not comfortable with this task, it's best to take it to a professional mechanic.

Another tip is to replace the water pump and other related components while you have the timing belt off. This can save you time and money in the long run. Just make sure to choose high quality parts.
