Default Straight from the Audi Tech's mouth "I'm suprised this car was even running"...

He explained to me the situation today. He said that the top of my engine had been totally replaced due to a timing belt failure that the previous owner just told me about after I asked. Whoever did the work didn't know **** and there are sensors unplugged wrong covers, bolts all over the place. He is still going through the car but they are probably going to do the JB recall on it and just replace the throttle body. I will keep you updated unless you are getting bored of hearing bad news from me!
