Hi all,
Yesterday was pottering around in the S3. posted some bits, jumped back in the car, went to start it, wizz wizz no response...weird was only running seconds ago (in fact can't actually rememeber if i turned it off). try again wizz wizz no action.....mmmm
few minutes swearing and blindly looking under bonnet and rang the rac...
about 1 min after arrival rac guy says your cambelts gone....can here it moving and injectors firing. pretty certain....
got towed to knight vw/audi up the road who have looked after her for a while....and they advised me to contact the people who fitted the cambelt.
It was fitted at 83k when i bought the vehicle. think it was the first one. done a further 50k miles since then. I understand for my model 80k is recommended, 60k for newer models mine 1999....
Mackenzies - said mmmm yes we did the work....but long time ago....close to 60k (51k???) been over a year....we'd have to have a look...see what we can do...we maybe able to help but not sure...
they are 25 miles away from the car to so i'd have to get it to them.
As it was off or idling when it went - what is the likely internal damage? do they have much clearance internally? HELP
