Don't know of a "kit" when dealing with vbelts. Vbelts are cheap now days, just goto auto part store and get em, usually they are like $6 a piece

What he said plus RockAuto Parts Catalog has them fairly cheap. I usually use Gates myself.

I just went to an Auto parts store yesterday and got all 4.I just said I needed all the drive belts for a 91 Mazda rx7.
I paid less than 100 cdn.
I'm not sure what the prices are on them But I needed them and got them in 3 hours.

I want to add to this a tad bit. The Air pump V-belt from rock auto... the gator back ( I will update with the part number hopefully tonight) is too big for the S4 years. A tad too thick as well. Maybe they sent me the wrong one... But it was about 1-1.5 inch to long to snug it with the factory adjustment.

since I am re-doing all the belts on an s5 N/A,I will see how it goes fitment wise as I got all Gatorback belts.
If they do the job(aka: the parts guy actually gave me the right parts.lol!) I will post with Part Numbers.

So far I have all belts off and 2 Gatorback belts back on..(ya..call me a little sahhhllloooow!..wiping drool from face..lol!)
the "15"series belts for ALT and AIR PUMP fit.
the 13 series for the PS and AC are screwy.One belt is too long the other too short.(NO I didn't switch them out..heh,heh!)
the 13480 should be about 13485(that is a half inch longer)
SO,back to the store for a conference..

As I said I will post all part number once I get the belts on and that way it can be used for future replacement if you use the Gatorback belts.

NOTE: it looks like the turbo engine uses the belt sizes needed to do this and fix this problem on the 91 S5 N/A,BUT I will confirm this when I get the correct belts and post #'s.
