hi,

i have recently purchased an audi a3, 1.8.. lovely car BUT its seems a bit sluggish for a 1.8. uphill, it seems like a bit of a struggle, doesnt accelerate significantly even after dropping down a gear!! i took it to audi and they said, try getting the cambelt changed, it should smoothen the drive more. i personally thought it was the clutch, but audi said thats ok. i just dont see how the new cambelt would improve performance, or would it??
i would really appreciate any advice or helpful comments.
thanks
