Hi,
I'm after a timing belt for my Cabrio it's a 2.6 V6 and the cheapest kit I've found is over £100. Can anyone recommend anywhere?

Thanks

cheapest is not always the best option.

I'd look for either a Gates or Contitech belt being in the kit

I second that, don't rule out a genuine Audi belt, there prices aren't to bad and always ask for a discount.
What does the kit that costs £100 include? From memory its a belt, relay roller and tensioner that required but whilst you are in there you should do thermostat and possibly the water pump.

Just picked up a belt, tensioner, water pump and alternator belt from ECP for £119. They've got an Easter sale on apparently lol
