Default 2.8 timing belt help

So I am sick of searching. Have gone throught 35 pages of searching and cannot find anything about 2.8 timing belts. I have a 2000 2.8Q A4 that is about to hit 80k and i need to do the timing belt replacement. I am assuming that the tensioner also needs to be replaced and am wondering where a good place to get the whole kit is. I remember seeing someone make a suggestion on here a while back but cannot find it for the life of me.Also, is there anything else that needs replaced around this milage? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I think I bought mine from Blauparts. You can also Google the models parts. Change the waterpump and all the pulley bearings. They don't cost that much and saves the hassle of a failure later which could be very costly. When I went into mine the only suspect bearing was the water pump (slightly loose) but I changed everything. Buy the Bentley manual, it is worth it. B.
