Took my CPO TT in to the dealer today with a cluster complaint -
They also asked to inspect the timing belt.
Okay ..........
Was happy to hear they will replace the cluster, and also not surprised to hear they recommend a timing belt replacement. But not because of any noted deterioration of the belt, rather because "Audi recommends timing belt replacement every 5 years". $1200.
This is a 2003 with 43,000 miles.

See, thats just not right>
If your belt BROKE it would be covered under CPO
BC of the 'inspection' and its a wear and tear item, they're now off the hook
CPO's have become less valuable because of this!

I agree it is high. Need to compare an indy estimate with the dealer's.
The car is still is under the CPO for another year so it might be worth a few hundred dollars to avoid any future warranty issues. Now if an indy comes in way cheaper, say $800, I may go that route regardless.
