Hi
Not sure if this post should really be in here or in the A6 section?
My P reg 100 based A6 2.5 5 cyl diesel auto estate has suddenly started running rough and being very difficult to start yesterday, after a motorway run when it appeared to be running fine. On arriving it was making a rattling noise from the front of the engine. Had it recovered home, the AA man thought that the pump drive belt had slipped but I cant really see how it can, and on inspection all the marks seem to line up.
Cam belt seems fine although I knew it needed doing when I bought the car. Is it possible to check it without stripping the front of the car down?
Any other ideas gratefully received!!!
