As you have had a new belt fitted the bearings on the water pump tend to go,
this is due to the "new" amount of pressure put on the water pump after the
change.

no, it was a dealership. My car has only been to dealerships, most of
them giving great service, but different a different story of when
timing belt is due to be changed.

I called Audi HO in Canada and she said it was due at 112,000 km (but
according to my schedule) I do not see that. One dealership told me
120,000km another 168,000km.

I purchased the 1999 from a dealership that said the 96,000 ("expensive
service") was completely done.

?? I am tired of the run around.

Why do you doubt it?

The belt previously would have stretched, the new belt being tight would
cause more load on any pullys the belt runs on.
