It's literally the easiest job in the world, takes 5 minutes! As said above, put a pair of gloves on and yank the ******** off lol. I found twisting whilst pulling helped them come off with minimal fuss really. So glad I did it, it sets the car off!I was looking at doing the same but wondered how they came off. I can't see any bolts to remove them

My car is in at Edinburgh Audi at the moment , A4 2.0tfsi 63k 1 previous owner, 2 Audi history and 2 Audi specialists with all oil and parts on reciepts saying to Audi specification , the car failed the test and they got back to me today saying that Audi are paying 100% of rebuild but They said under the condition that I paid £310 for a full service at the same time as it had not been serviced in the Lookers Audi group before , I really think this is unfair as its not due for another year and on the rebuild it will be getting oil, filter, coolant and plugs so I am being asked to pay £310 for an air filter, pollen filter and fuel filter!!!, I said this to them and they just said that was the condition, what should I do or say ??!!
At the start I phoned Audi uk and said it was using pile etc and they told me they new about it and to make an appointment at a branch to get the test done , I then did and it failed and now I have been told the above, I phoned Audi UK yesterday when I got home (all be it , it was 6.00) but the person I spoke to couldn't see anything on there system under my name or reg???, I found that very funny !! If Big Bird is reading this I was needing to speak to you about it as I see you took yours into Edinburgh . Oh and another thing, I am very ocd about keeping my car clean and when I was yesterday I had said to M that I had washed his courtesy car a couple of times and he said they had washed mine 3 times , just to keep it clean all the time, when I was leaving I had a look round the back to see my car and to my astonishment it's never been washed since I dropped it off!!!, they did the test miles for me and it's been lying there ever since , absolutely black , covered in flies on the front and covered in bird poo now!!!!!!!, he clearly has not told me the truth about this so what else is not right !!!Contact Audi UK and explain your concerns. Say you feel you are being held to ransoms. The Audi UK guidelines to this case clearly say that the customer must not feel that Audi or the dealers are profiteering in any way over this matter.

Are people getting the tensioners changed at the same time and are Audi paying for it, I asked the guy at Edinburgh to change it at the same time and he said they check it but don't change it as part of the repair, is this correct and has anyone else that has used Edinburgh had it changed as part of this, thanks for all your help folksGet back on to Audi UK re the servicing. If you go back to the early days of this thread there is a copy of the instructions that were sent to the dealers about how to handle this matter. Even if Audi UK can't find your reg on there they can always register it again

No cam belt tensioners AREN'T replaced free even though it's a known manufacturing fault! (They are meant to be designed to last the lifetime if the car!) I had to pay for mine although I got a substantial dealer contribution.
