No, wouldnt be for the b7's if there is already a class action against them Sounds like some people have banded together... or some shark lawyer has banded people together, in a mutually beneficial deal.

I wanna go talk to them about it... my car hasnt been dealer maintained... so who knows. I wont pay for 1.5 hours of inspection time, if that is what they are suggesting... i'd just as soon change it myself for a couple hundred bucks, and never have to own an engine that's been grenaded.

Well, by stating that it doesn't have to be replaced until 105K miles, they are giving an implied warranty that it will safely last to 105K miles.

If my belt broke, that was what i was going to argue.

They want us to spend 1.5 hours labor at every 10K mi. service. It still makes sense to have an independent shop change it before 90K mi.
