FFS Dave, posts like this certainly aren't making the wait any easier!
Last update I had the production date was sitting as 16/04/14 and expected delivery 20/05/14 and status 1200 scheduled for production :(
Dave, how are you finding the manual box? Did you test drive both?
I've gone with the manual at this stage but the general consensus seems to be that this is the wrong choice lol
Yeah mate, had a look after I called them.
£380 for the timing belt and £220 for 36k service. So I suppose an extra £170 for the dephaser and water pump (150+70) isn't bad, but not exactly a bargain!
Unfortunately not as great a selection of specialists in Scotland!
Had a quick look at the cost of the parts online, £500ish:
Cambelt kit £142
Aux belt kit £72
Water pump £67
Dephaser pulley £153
Service kit £30
Oil £30-50
Charging about £270ish labour then. Suppose not too bad depending on...
Thanks. I think with the risk of the belt getting contaminated and being due again next year anyway, I'll just go ahead and get all belt kits, water pump, dephaser and service done at the same time.
£770 all in reasonable/average?
What is a reasonable price to pay for all belts (kits), water pump, dephaser pulley and full service? Have been quoted £770, seems reasonable?
Getting everything changed slightly early as the water pump has started leaking, however, can't get the car booked in until next Wednesday, will it be...
Cheers, will give them a call!
My only concern would be getting it there, should be fine if the coolant is topped up? Seems to be a relatively slow leak but definitely from the pump.
If I end up getting all belts, water pump, dephaser, service etc is that something that could be done in a...
The water pump has started leaking on my car. Apparently it just runs from the aux belt, so there's no need to change the timing belt at the same time?
Both belts were last changed at 47000 miles in 2009 so will be due again in 2014.
Would I be better just to have both the belts done again at...
When did you pre-order?
I pre-ordered on Monday night and only just received the dispatched email yesterday afternoon but it was still delivered today so surely your copy will arrive as well.
Got my copy at 8:20 this morning. Day off as well, just dropped the mrs at work so will have peace all day!
Bought a 360 when the PSN went down, not played much online so far as most of my mates are still on PS3 which is a bit rubbish.
Been looking forward to this for a while especially after...
I was speaking to a salesman in Audi today who has driven one in Germany and agrees that you'd get nowhere near 30mpg!
Only £1500 deposit, still some production slots available but no definite delivery times.
Can anyone recommend me an MOT garage in Edinburgh?
Usually use Falkland in Glenrothes but apparently they're no longer open on a Saturday and there's no chance of me making it across during the week.
Thanks
I've had a similar problem with my Milltek which still hasn't been sorted, I thought it was a baffle that had gone, however, I had this response from Milltek:
"As the system does not include any baffles/deflector plates in the silencers it is difficult for these to fail."
:S
How does yours...
I'm pretty sure I've heard a few of the guys on here saying that with this combination, the discs will wear at an increased rate compared to the pads i.e. you will need to change the discs before the pads.
I may be wrong though :)
