I'd bet there isn't 10 RS4's in the country at this moment in time requiring a cambelt change

If it's for B5 RS4s fine, if it's for B7s, then I'm afraid there's no belt to change :lol:

A dealership change also won't touch the waterpump or thermostat (probably the cambelt as well ;-)).

The cynic in me asks....is that just the labour charge? Then add on the parts and then the VAT. Guess they might also suggest otehr work when the caris in bits?

Mmm, I thought Audi charged £800 for the cambelt alone?? Anyway, I've just had the cambelt, tensioner, rollers, water pump and thermostat done for £450 - beat that Mr Audi!

Quite sad they have to advertise on ebay... original thinking out the box... but hardly shouts premium brand status?
