    Total bill out-the-door was $6300. That includes labor and all parts purchased at dealer (mentioned above and on the original post).
    You got a hell of a deal. VC gaskets, Cam seals, tensioners, and plugs on my car was $3400 alone. I was looking at EGT Sensors, $550 for the pair plus labor, probably going to happen later this year... Timing belt job was just a hair over $2k. Thanking the Audi gods that my O2 sensors were still good. Bufkin pipe adds ~4 hours of labor, motor mounts are not cheap (I had one replaced to the tune of ~$400)... the list goes on.

    Still wishing I could find an excellent indy in the DC area like the lucky folk in Oregon and apparently Massachusetts. Honestly at this point would be almost worth the long drive up to MA, that's how bad it is here.

    I'd agree it's imperative to have good labor that won't break the bank...and if they are going to charge at least do it right. Not always easy with this car. I knew going in that I had good mechanics nearby, and so far the shop here in Austin has been solid, just a bit more expensive.

    Try NGP Racing. I've used them before for my RS6 (and will again).

    They are in Lorton. Just down 395/95 to the South of the mixing bowl.

    $6,300 sucks but replacing piecemeal would have been much higher. I have 37,500 on mine now. First owner replaced timing chain at like 17k 5 years ago. Has anyone ever had a timing chain break? Mine has always been stored in a garage and experienced very few moments of low temperature. This has been a great car overall.

    Belt not chain

    You should be good to 40k mile intervals

    7 to 8yrs should be ok as well

    But just my opinion. I have one in the garage in the same boat
