3500 on my usp.

and

139,000 on my 01 tahoe. It is a beast.

 

164xxx on mine, and still going. Would this be a good time to do a timing belt? I have the car for a year 1/2, and have not done it, but I dont know what was done before I got it. I do know that it was taken care of by the person who sold it, just not sure on the belt thing.

 

DURR!!! 1..ad.g *cough*

Umm, yes. Do it. Seriously. Your car, can be described in metaphorical terms as a grenade. How long's the fuse? WHO KNOWS!

 

I have about 98,700 on mine. T-belt has already been done, upper control arms, tie rod ends, brake adjustment, new fluids/hoses. All of this work was done prior to me buying the car, thank god for that.

 

im rollin 112+ and she still runs like a champ, even with my mods(knock on wood) as for the t belt, im guessing it has been done since i took the cover off and it looks pretty good(i know i know its not the belt that goes its the tensioner) but the car was a lease car till 50,000 miles so im thinkin it was done at some point in time. its pretty much like HEADSHOCK said its a bomb waitn to blow if u dont know when it was done.

 

101,000 and counting ... but i just did my timing belt.

 

i did mt Timing belt at 73,000. Right as i bought it. I drove it straight to the mechanic to have it done.

 

125K miles, 45K since last timing belt change. Unfortunately I drive 40K miles a year (damn commute), so its a timing belt every 18 months.[:@].

Chipped for 40K miles with APR and running strong. Only CELs I've thrown are for vacuum leaks, and MAF.

BTW, if you have a high mileage ATW engine, I would seriously suggest changing the precat oxygen sensor. The VW sensor from ECS is a bargain at 22 bucks and works great in the ATW engine. Although I didn't have a CEL, my VAGcom showed that the sensor was "sluggish". Changing it added about 1-2 mpg to my highway gas mileage. I'm now getting an average of 32+ on the highway.

 

Hmm, is there a downside to using the VW sensor? And what do you mean the vag showed it was "sluggish"

Did it throw a code? I don't have any codes, other than the one I posted about... but even it doesnt throw a light -- it was just stored. I'd do anything to get better mileage though!

 

Could I do the belt at home or should I take to a dealer? I'm sure it can't be too hard, but it is an audi! I also am replacing steering knuckle and hub bearrings this weekend, might as well do a belt. Done the brakes and new tires. She gets her oil changes once a month, only b/c I drive 200 miles a day. When I say "I'm replacing" I really mean my dad or boyfriend is doing it, but it's getting done.
