Just received this reply from the seller when I suggested that the price was a little steep for me...
"Thanks for responding.
When I get the belt service done I have a very good friend who used to be a master tech at both Crawley and Epsom Audi to do it for a fraction of your price. He did our A6 Allroad bi turbo belt a few months ago. He started out on his own and within three years has built up a garage with a very good name and London South TPS top sales outlet for genuine parts.All the small garages in the Crawley area and even the local Audi Centre take problem jobs to him as he just knows them inside out. He specialises in R8 and RS vehicles and uses a top spec beissbarth unit for full geometry and A/C jobs. He is also one of the only garages who will rebuild a multitronic 7 clutch pack gearboxes with software update. The Audi Centres will just replace the box as its quite a job.
I may be able to persuade him to do the belt service if you pay the asking price. Just to put you in the picture, the master teck now at West London Audi used to work on this car when it came in to Epsom and he always wanted to buy it as the chap spent so much money on it over the years.
He was at my friends garage when I turned up with it and he remembered the car straight away.
That said, I had a quiet smile to myself when your mail came in as I get to keep it a little longer....But don't let the other half know!"
