hi there im new to all this i hace a audi a6 2.6se on a 1995 plate i would just like to know if anyone could tell me roughly what the bhp is and what miles the cambelt should be changed thanks alot

 

150 HP and timing belt to be checked every 37K ( there is no change time as its supposed to be non interference engine

 

hi again wat do you mean by non interference engine

 

that means the chances of are valve strike when the timing belt snaps is a lot less thean interference engine which in most cases is guaranteed

 

well the cambelt was changed at 90000 its now hit 140000 so do u think its time to get it changed

 

I cant really answer that question because Audi don't have a time/mileage limit to change it so its down to you ( personally I would stick to 90k changes ) and check condition every half of that

 

ok thanks ever so much for your help really appreciate it

 

Toothed belt for camshaft drive: checking for damage, measuring width of toothed belt (4-cyl. TDI engines up to and including model year 1999 -X-)

Release the two tensioning clips at the top of the toothed belt cover and upper edge of cover forwards.



–
Check condition of toothed belt for:



t
Cracks, cross-sectional fractures



t
Layer separation (toothed belt body, cord strands)



t
Break-up on toothed belt body



t
Fraying of cord strands



t
Surface cracks (synthetic coating)



t
Traces of oil and grease




WARNING[/align]


Any faults found must be rectified (repair measure).









–
Measure toothed belt width -a-.



t
Wear limit = 22 mm

even though that's for the 4 cylinder the procedure for checking the belt is the same
