A3 Cam Belt Service

[rickyardo]

I have an 2003 A3 that has only done 17000 miles. I have just had the servicing reminder through from the dealer advising it is time to get my Cam belt changed.

My concern is, does it really need to be done so soon considering the very low mileage, or should it be changed because of the cars age.

Any opinions or expert advide are most welcome.

Thanks

every 40 years or 60k, your car is 5 years old, so get it done regardless of the mileage :Blush:

The odd chap above means 4 years not 40, obviously.
