    EA211 CZEA timing belt

    Give Coventry Audi a call. They phoned me the day before my car was going in and told me that only that week had Audi revised their recommended interval.

    Facelift S3 - Mileage Concern

    Drive it and enjoy it. I put 160k on my Mercedes and miss the car as only replaced/sold due to CAZ's coming in and bought the Audi 2 years ago. Enjoyed driving it, who cares about depreciation.... all cars lose money. Other idea. Sell the S3, buy a used Dacia Sandero for a couple of thousand...

    Have a look at Riken UHP's and check out the tread wear number (520?) A set of these wore better than a set of primacy's. 40k easy on front 225/45/17 & rear 245/40/17 and heavy diesel merc. I would have got the Rikens this time but offer of a cheap set of Turanza's id give them a go
