Hello:
Just boght a second hand A3 2002 Automatic Ambition model, went to Audi dealer to see the price of the services, and also the date to make the next one since my car came without service manual.
The dealer told me "31,068miles your toothed belt replacement service is near that must be done when exaclty your car reaches 45,000 miles and the cost of that is aprox $1,665USD WHAT? so, in case you dont change your toothed belt, and "breaks" due to wear you will end with ruined valves, and other parts, the repair if that is in the range of $7,850 WHOA!
He showed me the users manual and yes it says there " recomend to change the toothed belt in the at 45,000 mile range
Someone had this kind of expereince? comments?
I had a Golf from 1993 thru 2003 and the dealer never ever had a proboem with it and never ever the VW dealer asked me to change that!
Thanks!
Ed
