Do you have any suggestions for GOOD garages to go to...and how much i should expect to pay...i don't want to pay Audi service prices...!

[clocksprings]

Just had all belts replaced including timing belt and water pump which I supplied by Stafford Audi for the grand total of £331.00 including vat, great service and bargain price from Audi main dealer.

So you supplied all the parts...? Cambelt/drive belts...?

[clocksprings]

No, I only supplied the water pump because I wanted to make sure the impeller was metal and not plastic, all belts etc were supplied and fitted by Stafford Audi, it was well worth a 300mile round trip as Wimbledon Audi wanted £791-00 to do the same job

Hi Shabaz, just got off the phone to Aubrey, quoted me £200 for the change on my 2000 A6 2.4 V6 30v... I'll supply the parts from GSF (£80 belts & pulleys / £12 Serpentine belt) The guy spoke highly of you.. cheers!

If you supply the parts I doubt you will get a warrantee. What would Aubrey charge for the parts. Regards Peter

Good point Peter, I will check this before I go ahead and get the work done.

Stafford Audi just did my 2002 2.5tdi quattro cam belt and tensioner change today. £395.00 and the f.o.c valet chucked in :D
Thanks for the recommendation clocksprings!

[shabazmo]

Well, I am quite taken aback. I have only used Fleet autos once and being a mad diy person we exchanged lots of technical information. I agree with Peter in that you should under no circumstances provide parts for a timing belt change. These are critical components and you will need both parts and labour waranty. I know that Aubery uses parts from the Audi dealer as I saw the parts myself. So please pay the extra for a supply and fit job whoever does the job.

Hi everyone, in my other post A6 TDI starting problem, I have just posted that I was quoted £1100 just for cam belt tensioner change for Listers Audi Worcester, my local. As I also need a diesle injection pump belt too I called Stafford Audi who quoted me £525 for Cam belt, water pump, diesel drive belt, tensioners, groove belts. Interesting figures being quoted....Stafford Audi the top bananas!!!!:approve:

[stevjoe]

i have been looking into this and i am really considering it. i have heard nothing but good about stafford audi.

[clocksprings]

Believe everything you hear, excellent.

[audinut]

BTW - forgot to mention that when I took mine to Stafford Audi, on the day they also said there was some remedial work to be carried out to the battery plenum (whatever that is). They said Audi is paying. I said well OK then
:drive:

How long does it takes to do it?
Is it a question of dropping it in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon?

Is there a cinema or something like that around?

Cheers

I dropped it off there at 9:15am and wandered into Stafford (1.5 miles). It's not a bad place - some bookshops & coffee shops and you pass a bowling alley on the way. Then wandered back and the car was ready at about 2pm.
