01 225 Timing belt service?
I'm trying to buy an 01 225, and getting the guy to replace the timing belt now, but according to him
"In the 225 HP derivation for 2001, the recommended t-beltservice,(according to my service mgr, who was just on the phone with Kinney Audi), is 120k. There would be no need to do the full service now...There was a recall on pulleys, and I called Audi to see if this
particular vehicle had any outstanding recalls, and this one does not,so that is up to code, as well"
Is the timing belt replacement only needed at 60-80 k for the 180's? The car hasnt had the pump, tensioners, or timing belt replaced yet, I dont want to buy it and turn around and put in a grand immediately.
Thanks

Thanks, I'm trying to, but they seem only willing to cover the service when its due :P If theyd cover it then, I wish they would just do it now, not after it destroys everything. It would be great if there was actually some AoAmerica statement about replacing them 60-80k. These gusy are at Snowfire Auto in VT, if anyones heard of them.
