There've been many cases of the A4 timing belt going after 60,000 miles

My current ride, a Hyundai Accent, I've put 200+ K on it w/o changing the timing belt... nor have I with any previous cars.. If the timing belt goes, it could screw up the engine big time

wow mostly every car I've had I've had to do it around the same time I think accents are clearnance engines so if the belt does snap you won't do any damage but the accent is probley a 8V 4cylinder where the Audi is a 20 valve 4 cylinder you do the math

And what did it cost? This is a concern to me, but if it's a minor cost then it's not such a big deal
