It's the V6 that has the cambelt driven water pump.
The 1.8T is driven by the auxilary belt. I changed mine about 2 months ago, at 90,000 miles, and the impellar was about 45% perished.
A very wise man once told me that modern cars should always be judged on their condition and recent history. Rarely is the mileage a factor.

Does anyone know of a good company who can roll the arches for me. Preferably somewhere in East or West Sussex.
I've got 312mm Discs with standard calipers and EBC green stuff pads. It now stops as it should and there's no fade because the bigger discs can cool down alot quicker.
I got the caliper carriers from VAG parts and they're genuine VAG. Not bad for around 110 quid delivered. You'd probably pay...
I've done a search and found some useful info. But I still have a few questions.
Apparently they can be very squeaky. Is this the case on the A4?
Powerflex list 3 different sizes for the ARB bushes. How do I know which ones to order?
How easy / difficult are they to fit / remove the old...
