I bought a 92 960 last year and have driven it 15,000 miles without any problems. I just took the car to my dealership for the 90K servicing and had everything replaced, inspected, tightened, etc. After the car had been driven another fifteen miles, it stalled while stopping at an intersection and then completely died; there was no type of response from the car. Once towed to the dealer, he informed me that he quickly looked at a few things, did something with one of the belts, and when attempting to start the car, it tried, but died again. After he had a chance to look more closely, I was told that the belts had come off of the car because something was not aligned properly and this had caused the crankshaft to break. I don't have any finer details at this time, but I'm wondering if this 'at least $2,000' repair was caused by a mistake made when my car was being serviced (included timing belt replacement). I've been pleased with the dealer(sells and repairs European cars), the repair is covered by warranty, but I am extremely concerned about having the top half of my car's engine replaced, especially if it's by mechanics who screwed up a tune-up. I would like to hear that this repair is the result of something that couldn't be anticipated and is unrelated to any of the recent work, but it would be hard for me to believe that. I would really appreciate any feedback.
