A guy on TDI club said the same thing but its a car with an unknown history. If I get 6 months down the road and have to replace the water pump the timing belt has to come out anyway and I'm gonna be pissed. Might as well piggyback on labor already being done. Gonna have the coolant flushed and replaced too. Its probably only 25% coolant 75% water right now, the coolant distribution pipe was leaking and I didn't have any G12 to put in when I refilled.
Which reminds me, tomorrow is oil change day. -Curt Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2013 13:18:09 -0600 From: Brian Toscano <brian.tosc...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT: Truck for Jamie Message-ID: <CACnCPhmghNDnn=9AChj1oMkjUegt6r5_pkYC6ysTyf_LLPLW=g...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 the water pump is not timing belt driven on the A3. on the A4 it is. if its not leaking it may not be necessary to replace, but if the coolant is skunky and you're in there anyway... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
