Easy follow-up: contact the lawyer mentioned in the Globe article

He's had some experience suing Audi. He'll be able to calculate likelihood of our success pretty handily, probably.

Re: inspecting a timing belt....?

I'd bet the oil leaks from the front end of the engine are a contributing factor on belt life. Cannot say that with authority, but just suspect that all the gunk that leaks out of these engines cannot be good for a highly stressed rubber belt.

A service writer told me that my belt had been changed by previous owner. Now I am not so sure, but hope he was truthful. How can you REALLY tell if it was replaced?

Re:I'm in too

My transmission crapped out @ 115m miles. There's NO excuse for this to happen on a high end automobile. My 1990 V8 had 236m miles on the odometer and the transmission was PERFECT.
