I took my A4 2002 V6 3.0l into Eurospeed to get the timing belt replaced and when I picked up the car the engine light and the traction control light were on. When I drove the car I noticed that the gas consumtpion reading was indicating 30+ litres / 100 km while it was previously reading between 9 and 15 L/100 km.

I have always used dealerships and this was the first time I ventured out.

Anyone with any suggestions on potential cause fixes etc.

hey, you gotta check what the codes throwing the CEL are. I live around dufferin and lawrence, i can check them for you, then you can go from there.

Yeah, did you point it out to them before you drive it off their shop?

Is it an OEM timing belt? How much did they charge you?

Where did you get the timing belt job done?

I got my timing belt done at Eurospeed. I wanna start by saying that Jack is the biggest there. I took my A4 to get my timing belt to get changed at 105000km, which is no where near its service date, but I wanted to get it over and done with. He charged me $900 for a Continental timing belt kit, serpentine belt and tensioner and waterpump.

After I drove it home, the car would squeal when I started it up because the belt was slipping off the alternator. Then my engine speed sensor died, my car started leaking oil, I had to get my N75 valve replaced and my brake vacuum pump.

So after $1500+ in repairs, I took my car to Peter's Garage because the car was humming after 40km/h to find out that my timing belt was put on too tight and the only way to loosen it up is to take off the front end and make the adjustments.

Eurospeed is by far the worst Audi/VW shop in the GTA. DO NOT recommend them to anybody.

Thanks a lot. I was thinking of going to eurospeed before because it's located very near my home. I might go to the Audi dealer to get the timing belt changed. they charged $1050 plus tax. 2 weeks work for stealer.
