I had the belt, tensioner & water pump changed on the 92k mile A3 last week. £300 in total.
Just out of curiosity, I rang my two nearest Audi main dealers to see how much they charged, and how much I had saved. Amazingly, after quoting the reg number, the first dealer told me that it was not due yet! 5 years or 140k miles Sir, whichever comes first. If there was any problem before then with the belt, and as it had a full Audi main dealer history, it would be sorted free of charge. Dealer 2, again an authorised main Audi dealer, told me that it was overdue and should have been changed after 75k miles. So there you have it. Two main dealers, forty miles apart, with totally conflicting advice.
Shuffles off, muttering......
