Default When to change timing belt n tensioner on 04 a4

I got about 69k on it and was wondering when they recommend to have it replaced?

And are there any "how to" articles on the process?

I know ecs sells a Timing belt kit with tensioner, belt, water pump n such! is there anything i should be replacing while im in there??

Thanks for your help

Default Get the full timing belt kit and do it ASAP

Timing belt should be replaced every 60-70k miles. Get the full timing belt kit which includes the timing belt, accessory belt, water pump (with metal blades instead of plastic), tensioner, and coolant. Do all of that, and you should be good to go.
