what do you think?

so i had my 90k mile service done and Penske Audi says that my timing belt needs to be replaced. the previous owner had ALL service records and according to them, the TB/water pump was replaced at 70k (at some dealer on the west side. I have to call the previous owner to see where he had all the maintenance done, the records don't say the name of the dealer.)

I trust Penske Audi so I'm assuming that the other dealer never did the actual job but charged for it because a timing belt should last for more than 20k miles right? Do you guys think I'll have any luck if I bring my car and records to the other dealer and tell them someone messed up and never did the TB job and have them do it for free?

anyone?

sounds about right. If the TB needs to be replaced go to the other dealer and force them to replace it

what year car and model, replacing at 90k sounds about right, but not soo much as well. b5 needed replacing around 60k

You are only at 20k from the last TB change so you are good. You only need to change TB every 50-60kmiles. Save the money for something fun for your car.

I highly doubt another dealer would Invoice the TB and not do it. Might want to double check as to why they think the 20k interval is needed.
