How do I replace a timing belt on an Audi 80?

I recently purchased an old Audi 80 that needs a new timing belt. I have some experience with car maintenance, but I've never replaced a timing belt before. I want to make sure I do it correctly and avoid any major damage. Can anyone provide some guidance and tips on how to replace the timing belt on an Audi 80?

Firstly, make sure you have all the necessary tools and replacement parts before beginning the job. Double check the correct timing belt size and make sure to follow the manufacturer's specified torque settings.

When removing the old belt, take note of the direction the belt is running and any marks or indicators on the belt and pulleys. It's important to install the new belt in the same correct direction to avoid any issues.

I recommend also replacing the water pump and tensioner while you have the timing belt off. This will save you time and money in the long run as these parts often wear out around the same time as the timing belt.
