i love jumping on my cat now.....now that my timing belt, tensioner, heads and 12 bent valves have been replaced by my extended warranty company. at a cost of $4,600. $100 of which i had to pay, and also without a car for three weeks. its running like new now, but if i was suspect of the timing belt or tensioner. i'd be weary, especially with the restrictor engine in this german car.
a word to the wise is sufficiant.
