New car audi a4 64,000 miles

Bluedragon · 03-31-2008, 12:37 PM

Im just after buying an audi a4 1.6 car and its on 64,000 miles
was just wondering what needs to be replaced besides the timing belt and waterpump, also does anyone know any good garages in cork that could do it for me? not sure if there are any audi dealerships or audi associated
car garages around?
would it be better for me to go to a dealership for it rather than a garage?

You may want to add tensioners to the list while doing the cambelt but as to getting a main dealer to do the work if your feeling flush go for it but I would find a specialist to do the work for a lot less.
