Hello. My name is Chris. I’m from USA. I’m new to this forum, i was hoping you could maybe teach me some stuff.
This is me-> http://lmageshack.us/img/chrisP.jpg – Just so you know who i am! feel free to post your own photos. Allways best to know who you talk to!
Chris,
Thanks for dropping us a line.
Let me know what questions you have any we would be happy to help!
I sent you an email, let me know if you haven’t received it
This looks wrong. I don;t see water pump or timing belt replacement anywhere, did I miss it?
Timing belts should be serviced every 6 years / 60,000 miles. Included in that service is water pump and thermostats. On your 2nd / 4th belt service we suggest replacing the timing belt dampener assemblies as well
You are suggesting to replace the timing belt at 60,000miles but doesn’t the manual say 100,000
Huba, I am indeed suggesting that timing belts are replaced every 6 years or 60,000 miles.
We are painfully aware that Audi specified 105,000 mile service intervals for timing belts.
Audi is now being sued by many many owners that have had timing belt failures before reaching 105,000 miles. We are confident in this recommendation as we have replaced far too many cylinder heads and motors due to this specific failure.
