Default Update on Car won't start w/63000 and timing belt had not being changed

Well I picked it up yesterday at 5pm from Harper Audi (Knoxville) "they are the best serivice dept I have ever being too"
the car runs great here is the break down of what they did
Replaced ECU- That is what made the car not start
Replaced Timing belt rollers waterpump tensioners and everything else that the service requires
Replaced the vaccum lines they were all dry rotted
Synthetic Oil change Mobil 1
Grand total $1938.00,
I admit that hurt but the car is like new, and i have no worries about the timing belt and that is a great feeling.
Ohh and I am no longer chipped and i am still happy, once I get every thing back in check I will send the ECU's down to APR.

Default Not a bad price for an OEM ECU and a timing belt job from a dealer. The rest of the work is cherry!

You should add these comments to the Audi Dealer feedback (link is in the FAQ).

Glad you're back on the road again.

I can't imagine how slow it must feel after losing chip..if we're talking 1.8T. At least she works!!
