Hi John,
Sorry to hear of your expensive engine problems,
but i do think that Audi should have advised you that the timing
belt was due change at 5 years. my car has been serviced with
Audi from new, and on the bottom of the last 2 service invoices
leading up to the car being 5 years old, it states that the
timing belt/water pump is due change at that time.
Please keep us informed of the outcome
Brian.
Hi Gareth,
My engine is the 2ltr 190 diesel, I had my timing belt/ water pump
replaced at 25,000. miles/5 years. regarding brake pads/disc etc,
I usually change things like that myself. regarding breakdown
cover, get you home/etc. is included.
Regards
Brian.
Yep I'm looking into it as it's a worry.
I have a suspicion Steve we will see other manufacturers with heated windscreens from now on as I believe Fords patent has expired.
