Maintenance or replacement during timing belt change
My 2010 D4 is up for its timing belt change next year. I was wondering what opinion is on "other jobs" that should be done at the same time. Its always a balance between preventative and reactive maintenance. One side of me says that the car is under extended warranty and so I should pay for the minimum and if something else fails let the warranty co pick up the tab but the other side of me says I might not be under warranty for ever and it would be better to have these things done.
Just to update this - I had the 7 year service done last week including timing belt, tensioner and fuel pump belt. total cost was just under £1k and was done with the body on. They tried to talk me out of doing the fuel pump belt but as I have an aftermarket warranty, I was concerned that any future failure wouldn't be covered if it hadn't been changed as per schedule.
