I know there are various threads about when to change your cambelt but I'm still unsure of what to do so thought I'd post.
I have an Audi A3 2.0 TDI 2010 model with 50,000 miles on the clock. I recently phoned Audi re servicing and they advised me that my car would also need a cambelt change. My service book says change at 133,000 miles but they advised it's 5 years or 75, 000 miles.
Now I've just phoned Audi to check this and they're saying that it was 5 years or 75,000 miles but it changed last year to what is stated in the service book (something to do with new research and actually the different roads and climates here compared to Germany don't make a difference).
So what are people's thoughts on this? I think 133,000 miles sounds a lot and I'd probably get it changed way before then, but not sure if that should be now.
