Had a letter through from my local Audi dealer yesterday, thought I would pass on the advice.
It states;
"From 1 September 2009, all vehicles built before model year 2004 should have their cambelts replaced after five years of 75k miles, whichever comes first.
This slight change to policy has been implemented after considering feedback from Audi Centres and customers. If you choose to ignore the reminder you are potentially risking serious damage ...... blah, blah, blah."
So to summarise, several cambelt have failed before we predicted and we don't want to pay for them anymore ?!
It says all vehicles (with the exception of the RS6 (c5) 4.2 biturbo), both diesel and petrol.
This wasn't a surprise to me, but the blanket nature of the advice suggests they are either; 1. Worried about warranty claims, or 2. Druming up business!!
You can make your own minds up.
Cheers,
David
