i had mine done at 80k, not worth putting it off mate, audi charged me 175 quid, ouch

Snoop, assuming you got the tensioner bits done, 175 quid is damn cheap. Audi or not!!!

mine's at the garage as we speak getting a quote, what do you think the damage will be?

 

[imported_apcourtenay]

mines being done today and tomorrow pick it up tomorrow evening, costing £200 ex vat (think its about £235 including) at a local audi specialist garage. not too bad i think, annoying but one of those things that can't be overlooked!

Very true mate. I'd much rather spend a couple of quid and take preventative measures than end up with 20 valves flying through the engine. The amount to put something like that right would be comparitavely huge.
