2000 A3 1.8 T Sport Cam Belt change?

[adamf200]

Hi all,
when does the cam belt need changing on these cars, I have searched the forum but cant find an answer so sorry if its been covered before.
My car has just done 60,000 miles.

70-75000 miles i think mate

always better to have it done sooner rather than later, so if i were you id start thinking about having it done within the next 5k

 

[adamf200]

ok cool,
any idea how much its costs at an indy?
does the wtare pump need doing too? if so how much is this?

mine cost £230 for cambelt kit (tensioners and everything) and a water pump, fitted. All parts genuine.

Should give u a rough idea

dude thats frikking awesome price £230, i think audi do it for a set price of £450?

so basically around the £300 mark you wont be far wrong

 

[hooley]

Audi have a special offer on at the moment for £350

Mention to them that Stafford Audi have it for £275 on their website and most Audi dealers will bring that down to £300

Word of warning they don't change the hydraulic damper which is an £85 part or the waterpump (will do for an extra £80 for the pump and coolant)
