Dadstoys Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Please could someone advise on the correct mileage / service intervals for when the belts should be changed on my 2002 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 The most recent advice from Audi is that the belt should be changed every four years, irrespective of mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisg Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I think it was 60,000. Just had one of ours done at 57,000 but it was almost 7 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadstoys Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks Guys. The service book says 115k for the 1.8 5V engine, but then mentions that it differs for variations of that engine - but doesn't say what variations or what differences.

rball Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 On the back of what peterb says, here is a quote from 4RingsDH that he posted a couple of weeks ago. He is an Audi Tech after all! To all, Audi have just introduced a 4 year change interval of cambelts irrespective of mileage on the whole range! I assure you this is TRUE. It does not apply to those vehicles that have no change interval i.e. A3 1.6 (8L chassis). So for all low mileage users dont think that your 5 year old Audi will be subject to goodwill if your cambelt fails. Audi have been known to change reccomended change intervals in the past, which is the most likely reason for garages to give different change intervals when quized. However Audi always publish latest information for the main dealers reference. Please contact me directly with any queries.

4RingsDH Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Just for info: A4 1.8TQ 2002 cambelt interval is 115000 miles / 4 years, according to latest interval listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarskeBear Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 dealer told me the A3 FSI is at 120k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RingsDH Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Its definately 115,000 miles! Trust me! The dealers in the UK used to round up/down the actual interval (KM) in 10,000's of miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollox Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Trust him! Also, when you weigh up the cost of changing early versus the cost of mopping up the carnage of a premature failure it hardly seems worth worrying about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
