Audi A4 1.9TDI 1997 Timing Belt
Mine has just snapped!
Car has done 141,000 miles with full Audi dealership service.Timing
belt had done 23,000 miles in 18 month (2year warranty on Audi
parts).The car is now at the Audi Garage, sprokett intack, camshaft
not siezed but the belt has slipped and worn through. Audi are wanting
me to have the cylinder head repaired and new belt etc.. fitted at
approx £1600 before making any descion on any payment I might or
probably not recieve.
What are they going to be looking for, I see from some of the letters
that the water pump seal can cause problems by washing out the
lubricant for the timing belt.
Any help would be great as I have to make a decision soon whether or
not to let audi go ahead and rebuild the cylinder head or have
independant dealer fit a new engine for less

Re: Audi A4 1.9TDI 1997 Timing Belt
dont pay a penny, its easy for them to say they will do the work and then
decide who's going to pay, i would sugest you demand to know before any work
is carried out, this is a lot of money for the repairs involved, if you read
my later post i have just done a simmilar job on an audi A4 1.8 20 valve and
we did the job for just under £1000.
our labour rates are £40.00 per hour plus vat, i would imagine AUDI's are
probably double that.
