B7 Cambelt - What Else Questions?

Post by Loki »

Hiya

My 2012 B7 is due its cambelt changing in the next couple of months. I have drilled in to cambelt questions which seem to be for B5/5.5 etc. so have questions associated with a B7:

1. Do the additional bits like tensioner, water pump, some sort of studs etc. on the minimum+ listing in a reply also apply to the B7?
2. Anything else to be aware of over the B5/5.5/6's?
3. Similar job or 'tricky''?
4. Would a newer local Independent need any particular experience - some replies suggest tweaking the timing using VCDS?
5. Genuine TPS for parts or ECP - advised metal impellor pump (Gates/Daeco?) better over VW's?

Grateful for any experiences or advice.
