8v cambelt change intervals?

[scoss]

What's the mileage for a first cambelt change? My 2014 has 50k at the moment.

Thanks

What engine do you have? Only the diesels and small petrol engines have belts and they should be 5 years or 120k now. Most people get to the time mark before distance

Is the S3 chain driven then? I thought it had a belt...

Check your manual but I think it's around the 120k mark

Most manufacturers seem to give out confusing and contradictory information about recommended cambelt changes – and then they keep changing it. When I spoke to Bath Audi a couple of years ago they told me that the official Audi “suggestion” changed in May 2014. It is now whichever comes first of 5-years or the mileage recommendation in the handbook. In my handbook it states 133,000 miles for the 2.0 TDI and 114,000 for the 2.0 TFSI

It's not really a diy job, you will need experience and the right tools

3yrs & over Audi will do it as a fixed price job. £455 for the cambelt or £599 with the water pump.

I can do it if your near Cambridge, i charge £100 plus parts
