    Next Oil Change date moved forward?

    I think Audi AG initially recommended 8yrs so you are nearly there, a new engine would be around £7k plus install , sort of focuses 400-500quid for a belt Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

    Low mileage cambelt

    Yip I've seen plenty of cam belts fail , the problem is a short block is £7k , a good indy can half the labour bill , my Ducati ST had you changing the belts every 2 years regardless of mileage , however a failure would write off the bike.

    Cambelt change

    Don't think this a Audi or belt issue only , plenty of grievence with BMW series 1 owners and stretched timing chains , absolute nightmare as some chains are located at the gearbox end under the bulkhead. German engineering indeed !, as long as the car lasts through the warranty period...

    Cambelt change

    Timing belts are supplied to manufacturers by 3rd parties , needless to say there will be varied performances between manufacturers , yes they are reinforced but are subject to abuse of temperature variations and high speed revolution. The bottom line is that they will fail regardless , it might...
