B8 S4 cambelt, how much and how often?

Post by Russboy » Sat Apr 08, 2017 3:19 pm

Hi all,

How often should the above cambelt be changed and what does it cost to have done?

Cheers,

Russ

Good point, I just called the place that sold it to me & he said they're chain not belt.

Sounded very sure of it as well so if true thats a rather large weight off of my shoulders!!!

They still need changing, but think they're around 100k miles.
