Guys,
I just got my car back from a 48,000 mile long life service at the local main Audi dealer. They gave me a list of faults/work requiring addressing, with the cost for parts and labour.
I'm wondering if any of you guys have had similar work done and what I could expect to pay at a VW/Audi specialist rather than the main dealer.
The car is 2000 W plate 1.8 T Sport Quattro.
1. "Slight leak at water pump" £453.
2. "Leaking seal at rear diff" £430
3. "Brake fluid service" £69
4. "Rear exhaust mounting bracket is broken" £420 (didn't say whether its on the body or the exhaust but it looks to be beside the rear diff)
5. "Timing belt recommended due to age of vehicle" £480 (is this 60,000 miles or 5 years?)
My thoughts were to get the diff seal fixed and change the brake fluid, and possibly see what can be done about the exhaust bracket, i.e. weld it back on to the body or the exhaust. What would you pay and what would you say is priority (e.g. is the water pump about to go)?
Cheers
Alan
