Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN MY ENGINE SUDDENLY CEASED UP, THE HYDRAULICS STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND I WAS SURROUNDED BY HEAVY TRAFFIC. I MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE TIMING BELT OF MY AUDI TT 2000 (49K MILES) SNAPPED CAUSING THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO FAIL AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. *JB
