Description of the problem | My car would not start and i had my car towed to fort myers audi. After the diagnostics they said the timing chain had failed and caused a cylinder head to crack and the turbo had issues as well. They told us that audi will cover the timing chain and only 50% of the cylinder head. The quote given for the cylinder head was $5,810 (with audi covering $2,905). To repair the turbo charger it will cost $2,175. Looking on this website, i have seen several others having the same issue, with the same resulting problems. |
