Cam belt interval?

Post by david7m » Fri Jan 08, 2010 1:27 pm

Hello

Whats the belt change recommendation for a 2001 S3? It was last done in 2006 with 60k on the clock, now on 100k and being serviced/MOT'd tomorrow.

Cheers.

The official current Audi cambelt interval changes are every 75k or 5 years, always get the waterpump replaced aswell :)

Mine has just been done - the waterpump had a small leak. For the sake of an extra £40 or so it's worth doing it
