I called Blauparts and checked on the belts in my kit (2010) and they were not from the manufacturer of the questionably belts. They told me the "chemical mixture" of the belt was incorrect which led to the cracking accessory belts. They would not tell me the manufacturer name of the bad belts.

Yes, it is the enhanced kit, but I have never heard of the manufacturer TeileQualität.I do not want to install them if they are cheap china parts. I Google search TeileQualität and found no info. The only info I can get from Blauparts is that they are from a German OE manufacturer and that they would email me some info. But after a week of calling them all I have is a RMA for the return at a 20% restocking fee plus shipping both ways. So I will be out $100 plus if I don't use them.

TeileQualität means "Quality Parts" in German. I don't know if that is the brand or?, but it does lead me to believe they are German-made parts. Perhaps they are reboxed at some point in a generic-labeled box with this word on it and the parts are from various manufacturers. Are there any other words on the box, or is this word on the actual parts?

All the boxes have the initials TQ on them and the word TEILEQUALITÄT. Only the tensioner has the initials TQ on it.the rest have nothing on them.

I would call Blau and find out what brand they are. If unknown, I would ask for an exchange for NTN (came in my Enhanced kit)and is an OEM part. I'm assuming this is for an A6 2.7t or is it for an A4? Blau might use different brands for different Audi models. In any case, they are probably the only people who can fill in the details.
