60K Service... leaky waterpump...no car for the rest of the day...

on top of that they won't replace the timing belt. The advice I got was: "If it breaks before 105K, Audi will pay for it." All this aside I'm happy that they had a waterpump in stock.

Umm...I'd pay for the Timing Belt to have them do it while they're in there

If they refuse to do the job they're fools.

They told you to chance having the belt snap and killing the engine just so audi might pay for it?

thats smarts.. I agree get that belt done, with any luck it will snap at 106K.

Cheers,

I have to have my car back today and I don't think they have all the parts for it.

No loaners, no rentals...

I mentioned it more than once to see if they'd do it at my cost... they told me to get it done before warranty exires. Can't understand these people... They paid a guy to drive me 35 miles, but they don't have a loaner or rental available...

what kind of dealership doesn't have parts for a Tbelt? A routine job that ranks in the $$ for them

You better get that one in writing...

There are too many incidences where AOA won't cover the engines. You might consider having the t-belt, tensioner, and piston done on your own dime while its in there.
