Hi everyone I just started my a4 2.0tdi 170 and drove half a mile up the road and it cut out while driving and now won't start any ideas?
Rac have just towed me home I've recently had a cambelt done in the last week he said it could have slipped and the timing is well out? Is anyone local to bromley who can plug the car in ill pay for it. I'm gutted at the moment
Took the cambelt cover off and the tensioner has fallen out and the cambelt is loose. So that's the engine knackered!!! The guy who fitted it is coming over to strip it apart tomorro so ill keep you posted but I'm guessing its gonna be easier to get a recon engine now

Ouch, hope they reimburse and give payment towards a new engine, nice excuse to pick up a 4.2tdi from an A8 or something along those lines .
EDIT: Also please name and shame the garage so nobody encounters the same problem on here.
When garages/people make mistakes or sell defective parts be it on there head... they will claim it to be an unrelated issue however replacement cambelt horror story's are common.why name and shame now ?
it could be a genuine mistake snapped bolt defective part ect
