Please dont use capitals, its considered shouting, and makes reading posts awquard.

onto the fault.

Not heard of anything, in the 2 yrs or so i been around the Forums. infact im not even sure if it is a timing belt or a timing chain?

but, if you car is all fully serviced up as per the shedule without fault, before its due, then i would be talking to Audi!

welcome to the forum.
I hope its not as serious as it sounds. 20Valves is alot to bend [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

So sorry to hear of your misfortune mate! Ive never had any bother but i change mine every 10 thou mile for the price it cost and piece of mind.
I think i would contact audi to check the service as said.
Good look and keep us infomed

Best of luck mate. IIRC it's not due till 110k miles or something like that. If you do have to pay then take it elsewhere, don't give them your business.

Cheers

Ben
