what's up everyone? my 2001 A4 1.8T has just crossed 65,000 miles and I was wondering what I need to replace....I'm hoping to do the timing belts as soon as possible, but is there anything else I should do....I've read many people replace the water pump when they replace the timing belts as well as the A/C belts and the cabin air filter...I feel there is a lot more I need to know about. Help me out. ohh yea, just another quick question....what is name of the oil filters that audi uses on the 1.8T....because Mann and Bosch both make them and I was wondering which one to actually get.

 

T belts are the main thing, but i think the manual has a list of stuff that should be checked

 

tbelt, water pump, cam and crank seals, thermostat, idler pulley and whatever is involved in the 60k service.

edit whoops forgot drive belt too.

 

Oil filters use Mann part number: 930/21

 

get a big oil filter, if you do then it helps with the problem on the small sump on the 1.8 which will stop sludge problems, and yeah do timing belt, cabain air, maybe vacuum hoses, they are really easy i just did those and im 67k

 

I am thinkin of getting this timing belt kit from bimmerzone but i have no idea which chassis range my car belongs to, does anybody know? Is it 042 385- or -042 384

 

when i asked the guy in the audi dealer he told me the main maintanance is at 90k with timing belt, etc. isnt 90k bit too long?

 

In theory they can go to 90K plus but why risk it, if it goes you will most likely be replacing a whole lot more than the belt so its always best to be ahead of the game
