cambelt change

**rolfather** · 19-12-2013,04:58 PM

Anyone know the correct interval for changing a cambelt on a 2.0 litre petrol A3 ? I seem to think it's 5 years or 60k whichever comes first.

I usually stick to 4 years or 60k whichever comes first but the interval will be in your service book. Whats your engine code?

Hi Chris it's an axx engine. Looks like i'm gonna have to pull my finger out and get it sorted ASAP

The Audi website says:

We recommend that your cambelt is replaced every 5 years or 75,000 miles, whichever comes first*, to ensure optimum safety and performance.
*Not applicable to A2 or V8 RS6 models. Details refer to 2004 model year onwards.

Got my pride and joy booked in for the cambelt to be changed. They are doing the water pump and tensioners aswell (all comes as part of the kit) £300 all in. Seems like a fair price to me.
