just outta curiosity was it 1.8 or 2.8?

 

Laywer will be what gets this pushed thru. I'm wondering if I should just wait mine out its says 105 in the book and I know it wont last that long but its false advertising and they should of made it a Recall to cover there butts.

 

1.8T change guide is 74k miles 120,klm the 2.8 recommends it be checked every 37k miles 60,klm and dosnt give a change interval, that's autodata it might be different over there

 

That freakin sux!...When I bought my A4 last december All I knew is what I wanted and didn't know anything about a timing belt service (necessary replacement)....So I bought the car thinking I was getting a steal($6,500), then I come to find out that I was due for a timing belt and I had three leaking gaskets! (87K when I bought it)....needless to say $2,000 later....I basically bought the car for $8,500... which I believe was the bluebook value.....

I'm sorry to hear that your belt whent out on you....+1 for what darknight101 said, the only way you are going to make any headway is by having a lawyer push your case through...

good luck!

 

hmmm that definitely blows. sorry! I bought my 98 2.8 last year and almost immediately had to replace mine.

 

So ya hearing alot about timming belts yes there good for a really long time but the dealer ships want you to change them because there jews if you check it and its not wearing or not being a problem then you should be fine I own a 1997 Audi 1.8T it's like the bomb I bought when it had 375000km an I just hit 400 the dealer told me to change it at 400 but seems to be fine I'm not wasting money on a car that might not make it a nother season just drive bros if you want it to last don't kill it but don't baby it either 😊 anymore questions
