What do you mean by all the belts?
How many belts are we talking about?
What did you spend total to get this done?
I guess the reason why I'm asking is because I stopped in a local Audi shop today to ask and the guy said worst case scenerio would be about $1,200. My jaw just about hit the floor. But he was saying that while its apart to check everthing.
I know I can check and possibly replace anything but I just wanted to make sure my Timing belt didnt go so my engine didn't go. That happened to a friend and it wasn't a good thing.

The car itself is gorgeous. Its the size proportion that's so funny.
I'd say take it to the local shop. The dealer won't let you bring your own parts in, and will screw you over on labor.

leaks are caused....
by people who are too lazy to torque the wp bolts (and one nut) down to spec and use "mechanic's feel" option. The gasket isn't the culprit.
