'95 A6 2.6 Avant - after spending the last 3 weeks concentrating
on looking for a Volvo 850 estate!

I plan on getting the cam belt and water pump replaced as a
seized water pump cost me £1500+ on a 2.8 quattro a few years
ago when it took the cam belt with it

Whilst they have it apart, should I be changing anything else?

What else should I be checking over? It's done 104k

I'm a reasonably competent home mechanic, so can do most things
myself.

Thanks in advance

Matt.
