Should replace it every 60-70k miles to have peace of mind, or whatever mileage its at when you have ownership of it if you dont know if it has the old style tensioner.

i had mine done at 85k, but i dont reccomend waiting that long its kinda risky. you should be good at around 70k, but i think the manufactuer reccomends 60k???? not sure though????

audi recommends between 90 and 110k, depending on what year you have...but that's definitely risking it. ("it" being your entire top end)

do it at 60k.. heads are expensive.. and it doesnt hurt to do it too soon.. it just hurts when you realize your too late
