The garage (a well known VAG specialist near to me) that fitted the belt kit did not fit a genuine Audi belt. I did not know this at the time. I naively presumed a genuine belt would be fitted. The garage that the car was recovered to on Thursday evening have suggested that the bolt may not have been replaced, hence it's failure. The non genuine belt is on a 12 month warranty, so there is a month left. I have simply had enough of throwing money at the car and want to move on. I don't want to start naming and shaming, as that is not my style. As I have stated in a previous post, this A8 has been the most unreliable Audi I have owned by far despite having been well maintained/serviced etc. Thanks for the advice though, it is appreciated.
