Buying A4 1.8T Quattro Sport 2004 help

[RickT]

more than likley the water pump failed at 60k, so the cam belt was changed while it was in bits as it was due then..

And maybe the car is on a long life service.. 20k..

if Audi did the work check the service book as it will state long life..

ok cheers fellas.
They are getting back to me tomorrow about the s/history.
I would have thought that when it was in for the cambelt / waterpump it would have been serviced as the previous owner has always had it done on time.

The car is on the long life service schedule.
It did have the water pump and cam belt done at 59k, but no service as it isn't due until 65k according to the DIS.
Have purchased the car anyway
So much of a difference from my Jeep Cherokee, lol.

Thanks for the advice

Hi,,Have same 190 myself,,got cam belt changed at 62000 miles,water pump was done at the same time. This was recommended by 2 audi specialists as new belt puts pressure on older pump and big job getting pump changed on it"s own,so do both together. Service intervals are 9000 miles,but once the service light is reset after service it takes a few hundred miles to come back on,so don"t be alarmed if it does not reset immediately. Hope you have as much fun with your new car as i have with mine,,,Kipperano
