Cambelt change and Audi All-In

[j0hnst0n00]

Morning everyone,

My 67 plate 1.5 TFSI CoD has just reached five years of age and this week has had an oil change service (using a service plan I purchased two years ago), brake fluid change and MOT all undertaken by my local Audi main dealer.

Even though the car is now five years old I’m considering taking out an Audi All-in plan (includes two services, two years’ warranty, two MOT tests and two years’ roadside assistance). Upfront cost is £720 but last year in November there was an Audi promotion offering a 25% discount. I’m prepared to wait until this November to see if there is a repeat offer (£540 seems ‘reasonably’ good value to me).

The only potential sticking point is the cambelt change is also due. The car has only covered 24,600 miles in it’s five years. When I asked at the dealers on Monday I was told that whoever administers the warranty would decide if it definitely needed doing as pre-requirement of covering the car. (I was quoted £750 for the belt change by Audi).

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Did Audi insist on the belt being changed (and what your mileage at the time)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, my 2017 1.6tdi is also due a cambelt and my 2 year approved used warranty just expired. My local dealer also quoted £720 for the 2 year service plan, and £920 for the belt.

A local approved independent quoted £650 for the belt so I've booked in there instead.

I'll keep an eye out on a discount for the service plan, it would be nice to have the warranty extension.

I have audi warranty and I rang them to ask will not having my cambelt done at the 5 year mark invalidate the warranty and they said as long as the problem is not caused by a snapped cambelt then no. I am at 6 years and 53K and dont intend to do it till about 70K.

I was in a similar position, had a service plan, five year warranty. I considered the all in when mine hit 5 years old but Audi wanted extra £200 on top for brake fluid change and haldex service to "qualify" and said they were NOT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICE PLAN.
I decided enough was enough and went for an uprated clutch plus stage 1 tune instead and have now binned Audi and their service leg lifting antics off.
