yesterday I posted about a audi that's timing belt broke in a a4 1,8 turbo 2001 with only 40k on it and one of the responses was that it was rare well aperently not.

Unfortunetly I would think twice before purchasing a audi with 1.8t engine

Pay attention...

I was the one that said it was rare. I said that because the premature timing belt failure was mainly (as the article in the link you posted states) for 97-99 models. The 2000 and up models come with the updated tensioner which is why I said it is rare, because you are talking about a 2001 model... and I explained this exactly in my reply in your previous thread.
