timing belt question on 2000 a6 2.7 manual 6 speed
Hey guys and gals, just bought my 1st Audi a 2000 a6 180xxx miles. I have some records at 90,000 when the timing belt was done. How do you know when it's needed? Any warning signs to hear?

Agree timing belt every 80,000 with water pump
The water pump gets removed to replace the timing belt so might as well do this too. I now have 319,000 miles on my 2000 A6 2.7T

I suppose it is a good rule of thumb when buying a used Audi to allocate about $500 (If you're a DIY'er) to do a timing belt upon purchase of the car unless you have records that indicate otherwise. From what I have seen on these forums, it seems that people tend to walk away from these cars around 90,000 to 130,000 miles when they get the news that they really need to change timing belts soon "or else". |
Everyone agrees
Thanks to everyone's input. I was afraid to hear to just replace it.
