Cam-belt kit 2009 TDI

[djaniero]

Hi guys, I just bought a 2009 a3 TDI S Line 2.0, and would like to buy a cam belt kit for it. I had a look on Autodoc and was confused with all the different kits they had.
I then came across this kit:

Gates KP15648XS-1 Timing Belt & Water Pump Kit

From what I can gather it’s for a 170 engine but will this fit a 140 engine also?

Thanks

PM me your reg and I can get you the OE number so you can cross reference from that.

I personally would stick with SKF or Contitech kits but that’s just me.

Thanks Darren. I will pm you now.
One of the mechanics I spoke to said to buy a good quality belt as the cheaper ones squeal/fail.
Is the SKF and Contitech better than the gates stuff? Thanks
