AnArtist1 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Just when all seems calm, got a letter: It basically says the timing belt service interval has changed, "...we must inform you Audi UK now recommend that all timing belts are changed at four years, regardless of a lower mileage" Anyone else had this letter?

alera Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Incidentally I got a 10 year old a6 estate recently to move house. It cost £1200 was in good nick having done 117,000 miles. It was a great car but I didnt need it anymore, sold it on to a mate for £1000 after I had finished with it. I told him it needed 2 new front tires the catch fixing on the front driver door and get the cambelt checked. To cut a long story short he took it to my garage, I know the guy well and he does loads of cambelts, he swears it was on the original cambelt ! He showed me the one he took out and it was seriously f***** and could have gone at anytime. Still 10 years and 117,000 miles. I am not recommending this ovbiously and will probably get mine done now to be safe, just shows though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
