Ok guys i have a question regarding cambelt replacment. I have a 2014 a3 2.0 tdi the mileage is 1,600 miles as of today the car is a dry run weekend car and its garaged audi uk say the belt is due replacment at 120,000 miles or 5 years.

Audi germany say 144,000 miles with no time limit and its the same for most European countries.

Taking into account rubber degradation etc etc i am considering leaving mine a bit longer.

Most vag specialists seem to concur with my thoughts.

Just wondered what people thought on here and have you left yours in longer. ??
 
change it, doesn't cost a kidney and worth the peace of mind...

A new engine block and head is about £7000 in parts only. Kind of puts preventive maintenance in context.
