I have heard from different sources that the timing belts on the 2002 Audi A4 1.8T's have been known to break early. At what mileage should I be changing mine? I have heard anywhere from 60,000 to 95,000 miles.

 

Do it around 90K mi. You have the updated tensioner.

 

Ok then how about on the 2003 A4 3.0. I'm at 67k atm when might I think about changing it. I've heard 60k by alot of people but the dealer still says 105 is when I should do it. Its $1500 from a shop with all parts in the area and $500 if I do it myself and just use the garage. Damm apartment living.

 

74.5k for the 3.0 2003

 

Darknight101, I'd do it around 90K mi. Find an independent shop that charges
$800.

They recommend 105K mi. Do it around 90K mi. and be safe.
