Low mileage TB job update...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/83132/image9.jpg"></center><p>
Well after 6 years it looks like I could have made it another year based on techs eval of the parts. No dry rot indication on the belts and the pulleys looked good as well as the water pump impeller.

For piece of mind I am glad I had it done.

ps. 02' 225Q with 23k

I'd love to if life didn't conspire against me ;(

Always seems to be a timing thing. Or I have to reprioritize ;-)

they don't call it a timing belt for nothin

yup, but for me with low mileage it was more of a dry rot issue...>>

with the rubber. The dampener and tensioner were in good shape.
