2005 Passat TDI 126,000 miles the timing belt needs to be changed. I have looked at several sites for different kits and want some input on companies.
I was thinking about using Bora Parts Inc and wanted to see if anyone had used this company and get any feedback. I was going to get kit number 03G198295Q-D it is 1498.88 it includes everything to do timing belt and upgrade the balance shaft module. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I need to do this ASAP so we can drive the car.

I bought some parts from Bora parts, he is good at communication. FYI, I rent the tools upon request but I think I already said that. Honestly, they all sell the same OEM parts. You won't find this module as a cheap knock off part anywhere as far as I know.

I just installed a Deluxe kit from Bora for this job. It is very complete and includes every filter, even the cabin air filter. Everything is top quality. Aaron is fast, friendly and gets it done. he is a preferred vendor for me at my shop.

Just a little note if your like me having to heat the new gear in the oven then having to take it out run down stairs into the basement then into the garage and try putting it on real fast. It only go on about 1/2 to 3/4 the way before stoping.
I did this about 5 time and increaseing the temp up to 455 degrees.
I finally put some aluminume foil over the gear and it finally worked. *cough* i used my bare hands don't faze a real man.....
