SteelWarHorse3.0TDi

Could you please have a look in your service manual and tell me exactly what the mandatory service items are at every 120,000 km (or 180,000 km or there abouts).

My manual is in flippin' Portuguese and am dratted if I know what a "corida distribu??o" is. One thing I know is that I've had it serviced a few times and each time it costs me about 1,500 Euros :-(

I'd like to know what this blessed service is for! No-one at my local Audi Stealership speaks English and my Portuguese, good though it may be, does not extend to technical matters.

Thanks for any help.

"corida distribu??0" is the oral-**** insufflator which resides behind the de-naturizer in the auxilliary engine compartment.

I have a 2.5 TDI, I'll check the manual tomorrow morning (too late &amp; cold to go out now), but I'm pretty sure it's the timing belt.

Thanks Dave, I appreciate it. A confirm would be nice :-)

I checked my manual this morning, and there are 2 extra things at 120.000km:

- Timing belt for camshafts
- Timing belt for injectors

hope this helps you out

Cheers, Dave

Much obliged. At least I know what they are doing. Last time I just took it on the chin. These days I'm tasking an interest on what goes on under her hood.

Think I'll get the water pump checked too.

Thanks dave!

I don't know for sure on a V6 TDI, but I remember on my 4&amp;5 cil Audi's and VW's the timing belt was also driving the water pump.

Mechanics I knew always recommended replacing the water pump when doing the timing belt because of the risk of the water pump leaking after changing the timing belt. And when you're that far in the car, you might just as well do it anyway
