But believe me, a car's engine does not just suddenly stop like you describe unless it is a timing belt. If you try to start it and the starter is turning without resistance, it is a timing belt. |
Re: 1990 audi V8 Quattro problem

You will priobably find bent valves which would require replacement. If you have it done (I wouldn't) replace the water pump and thermostat. I'm wondering how much you paid for this car and if it is worth this costly repair. It sounds like you were the victim of some smooth talking dude who would say anything to get rid of the car. I'd go back to him and ask when and by whom was the belt changed. You may have a case against him.\ Good luck. |

Re: 1990 audi V8 Quattro problem
i bought the car on a auction and it had a bunch of reciepts from the
stuff this guy had done to it. he didnt have the timing belt replaced i looked over the receipt and called the dealer that did the work and it was a serpentine belt so it hadnt been changed in the past. I payed 225 dollars for the car on the auction cause the day it sold it was snowin and cold and no one showed up and there was no reserves. What would be a average it should cost to have a new one put in it. i am not sure if i will get it fixed yet or not i might even have my dad try to help me do it myself instead of a shop. its really a nice car and ran awsome before this happened and the leather interior is like new so i hate to junk it but it might still not be worth a fortune to fix. |
