I got my A3 2.0TDI 170 about 3 months ago, it had done around 75k. It is now on around 80k
The dealer advised that the timing belt was due to be done ASAP, and offered to do it for around £300 - I declined as couldn't stretch it at the time. He said it is either due on time or miles, and I can't remember which one he said.
However, I have looked in the service book and can see that it is ticked for having the Toothed Belt done (with water pump) at 40k, and ticked again on a full service at 50k.
The service book says that the belt should be replaced after 80,000, but obviously from what I can see it had already been done twice for some reason.
So my question, do I actually need to do it now? Assuming that toothed belt in Audi terms is the timing belt.
