Default RE: TB job payment - Dealership

^ that's actually a good idea!


Alright, so I called the company who covers my extended warranty. I asked, " In the event that my TB has failed prior to the suggested manufacturer mileage for replacement, would my vehicle be fully covered; all costs of parts and repair? " The response was, " Yes, if Audi says that it's good for 100k and it fails before it hits that mark, we will cover it as long as you find a shop that is willing to do the work. "

I'm glad I bought an extended warranty. I'm not saying that I'm going to "wait" until something happens... but in case it does, I'm glad it is covered.

Why not just order a kit and have a indy shop install it? Its about $500 cheaper that way. Also you should make sure that the warrenty covers the TB snap since i have seen others not.
Yes he could do this but it is usually better to have the shop order it for you when you don't have the know how. That way the shop carries a warranty on both the parts and labor. Just my 2cents but to each their own.

Keep in mind the key word here is timing belt. Check to see if they will repair all the other things that could get ruined along with it. You need to be more specific. If I was to read that I would take it as TB only. I would inquire more and get it in writing or read the fine print on your warranty contract. These companies will sometimes try to weasel out of paying for little plays on words like this.

Just to clear that up... I did ask about the other issues it would cause. The adjuster had said all damages caused by the faulty part (timing belt) will be covered.
I asked him the same question, multiple times in many different ways just so I, myself, could be clear.

I apologize for me not explaining the entire conversation in complete detail.
