[V8] RE: [Fwd: Re: Climate Control Saga...Problem Found!!!: Thank You

[Campozano, Robert]

Car has 168,000 miles.  Engine and tranny run very strong.  I may be the
second owner.  Car was a Utah vehicle and was well kept...I sent my VIN
to someone on the list that works for VW but were only able to give me
recall info. So I do not know if Audi will have the timing belt
info...any thoughts?

Thank You

Robert,

How many miles on your car ?

If you take the VIN to an audi dealer and your nice :) they
may look up your car by the VIN and see when tbelt was changed..

an old belt is just as bad as one with 60k miles on it...


Mike,
