Hi guys,
The wife was driving down the motorway in her a4 07 cab. The oil pressure warning light started flashing so she slowed down to pull over doing about 60 mls/hr and the engine juddered and died. Got car recovered to local garage, he told me the cam belt had snapped and all 24 valves were broken, but needed to split the block to find any other damage. Meanwhile called Audi who said they would look at it to install new engine for a small labour cost £800 (go for it I thought). Just had a call saying cannot look at it any further until permission from Audi uk because the cam belt is not worn and that it has a clean break? The car only has 49000 miles!!!!!! Does any body have any views to why the belt would snap without being worn so I have a bit of ammo when he calls again and try's to fill me full of £7&@.
thanks.
