Hello to you all.
My a3 2.0 tdi is seven year old this year we collected the car new in December 2014
The car has a lot of sentimental value to us its a dry run weekend summer car with 1,450 mile on it from new it has also been garaged from new in a temperature controlled garage and gets a oil and filter change every six months (castrol edge oil and audi filters) and a full service every year and is run on shell v-power diesel.
Audi uk say cambelt was due at 5 year mark but service book and audi germany say no time limit to inspect on service.
I have decided to leave belt a bit longer due to low mileage low wear and tear and the fact the car is garaged and not subject to extreme difference in temperature and i would imagine todays belts are a lot better made than years ago.
I just wondered what fellow owners thoughts were on this.
