Hi Gareth, Thanks for your reply, I purchased the car from a local Garage, I had it serviced by them as I paid extra for 2 services and the next MOT. They said it was a belt and that it needs renewing because of the year (2016), not the mileage, in all fairness the mechanic said that if is was his car he would wait until next year, however, I had a belt go on me before and had to have a recondiitoned engine put in (that was an AUdi TT), which was a nightmare and another long story, so for peace of mind I may go ahead and have it done, also needs a Gear box service, the cost of the timing belt with, the water pump is £273 and the Gear Box service is £289. 00. I just feel that as I paid quite a lot for the car in March, they could have mentioned about the timing belt to me, however I take on board what our saying about doing my own homework. Just fell in love with it. Probably feeling a bit fed up due to not expecting this. I think the nearest dealer to me is Cardiff and I'm wondering is it really worth taking it there or just get it done.

Hi, I am totally new on here, I purchased 2016 Audi Q 5 in March just before lockdown, took it for a service to same garage I purchased it, this Friday, they are saying that it needs the timing belt changed due to the year registered (not the miles), I'm thinking that surely when I purchaed it they should have mentioned this to me, or even they should have changed the timing belt. Thinking of querying this with them but would it be out of order for me to do this ? Any advice would be appreciated
