A4 B7 Timing Belt Interval

**whammer007** · 29-01-2011,11:35 PM

Hi all,

My wifes car is due a service in about a month according to the DIS. It's an 07 plate with 28.00 miles on it. Am I correct in saying that the timing belt interval is 5 years or 75,000 miles?
I heard somewhere it was 4 years, I hope that's not true as I need tyres as well. Will need to break open the piggy bank.

Regards,

Col

You're correct - 5 years and 75k miles

Mine's still on the original belt at 6 years. Only 43,000 miles though. Will prob change it myself over Easter.

I wish I had that level of confidence and skill.

They are not hard to do, just long winded ... the PD type fuel injection gives the Cambelt a hard life

Confidence in what?....that the belt won't snap beyond its specified life?....or changing it??

Ive changed a few over the years, they are not to bad to do I'm just to old and lazy now

Does anyone know how much Audi charge for replacing the cambelt on the 3.2 v6? Mine is coming up for 5 years old now so I guess this will need doing...
