    Default Audi s4 cam adjuster gasket leak?

    hey guys, just had an oil change at 75k on my 01 S4. They told me that there is an oil leak on the cam adjuster gaskets and then ionformed me that it will cost $1300 to fix. I have an extended warranty on the car, this should be covered by that warranty right? Also, they said it looked like the radiator hose leaked at some point but is not leaking now, and that is another 125 bucks. perhaps it is me but these things both sound like something that would be warranteed. Any input would be appreciated, i have never worked with this dealer before and am kinda nnew to audis so they could be jerking me around.

    You're a lucky guy. Today my Audi dealer in NY gave me a $3300. quote to replace cam adjuster gaskets & valve cover gaskets. Also suggest to replace timing belt at the same servicing. Where did you get your quote.

    I just got a quote today from Stevens Creek Audi Dealer in San Jose, CA for cam adjuster gaskets + timing belt change at the same time on my 01 S4.

    The total quote comes out to be $930 + $2324 = $3254. I paid $340 bucks for their "diagnostics", took the paper quote and just left. I'm getting it done at a better rated independent shop in the area, hopefully I'll get a better quote from them.

    Avoid Stevens Creek Audi Dealer though, the service rep was shady, unfriendly and it's just a rip off. This is what happens when you have a lot of rich people in the area who knows absolutely nothing about cars and just willing to bend over for "authorized" service center to work on their cars. I paid $340 dollars for 30 min of work, and the most complicated part was lifting the car and inspecting it with a flash light.
