    Thanks! Got confused with another A3 I looked at, the timing belt cover is there. I must've seen a dozen A3 for sale last week, a very stressful experience, especially when cars are described as "immaculate conditions" and then you're presented a scrap. I looked at a few 2011/2013 models and I...
