The time has now approached for me to get my C5 cambelt changed, there's no way that i'm taking it to a dealer, does anyone know or can list the UK's top 5 specialists that I could take her to? I'm based in Middlesex, but don't mind travelling. Thx

Hi there.
Firstly,
FON 
Now that is out of the way, while I would recommend
MRC Tuning, you are so close to Fontain (
http://www.fontain.co.uk/) that you can't discount them for a cambelt change with/without pumps etc. While their hourly rates are a bit more than MRC, they are still far cheaper than an Audi stealer. Give them a call, they are friendly and know what they are talking about!

Nice one. BTW, you did an excellent job when you fitted my Milltek, taking time to get it perfect.
(then the Audi dealer undid that work when they replaced my gear box, it squeaked like crazy
)

Tis a good price, is that using OEM parts?

Morning All,
That is using O.E supplier parts just not in Audi boxes, although saying that a couple of tensioners are Audi boxed parts as you can't get them O.E supplier. We do only use quality items.
Thanks for the kind words Rupert.
Ben.

I am taking mine in to Ben tomorrow morning to have the belts changed after the thermostat failed. Will let you know how I get on.

We only use genuine Audi parts as they come with a 2 year warranty .. We charge a little more but that's down to the cost of the genuine parts ...

I've used Amd Essex since I've had the car (apart from DRC done by Camberley) as they were closest to me, and I have no reason to change that in the future.
Incidentally, there was another RS6 last time I was there in mid December. Anyone from here?
