Audi A8 Timing Belt...should I...or should I not?
Hi guys.
I have 1997 Audi A8, buoght it used and never have had any problems. Now it has 100,000 miles. Is it time to change a timing belt or can I just keep driving? Thanks for all your help and time. Jan

To avoid severe damage to your engine, I would replace it asap. My RS6 is in the shop today (since yesterday) getting the belt changed, new plugs, filters, oil change, allignment, all paid for under warranty. Dave

I pick it up on Monday. They gave me an 07 A4 2.0T loaner. Nice little car, but I want my machine back! d;o( Dave

I normally change them either 5 years or quite a few k before the stated mileage -- Jon B Above email address IS valid. <http://www.bramley-computers.co.uk/> Apple Laptop Repairs.
