Failed Timing Belt Roller pictures (wiki)
Was on a Passat 2.8 30V (same engine as the A4)...TB was changed at 60k, car came in with 72K on it and needed cylinder heads because the rollers weren't replaced with the rest of the associated TB parts. When changing the TB, always change the idler roller, tensioner roller, tensioner element (hydraulic), and water pump.....unless you like spending more money than intended!
