I just purchased a 2004 Audi A6 with about 59,000 miles on it. I don’t have the actual manual so I don’t know when is the proper time to have the timing belt changed. Does anyone know when this is supposed to happen? Its a 3.0 if that helps.
I have a 2003 Audi A4 with 75K miles on it. The dealer is pushing to have the timing belt replaced, but it isn’t recommended in the user manual until 105K miles. I have seen a lot of problems with premature breakage on the late 90s models. Has this problem been fixed or is it still an issue? I am driving from OK to Alaska in January and really don’t want to have it break driving through Canada….
Thanks!

I did my own timing and water pump replacement job. All work done without out a hitch. Any questions or tips I might be able to help. quintajl@hotmail.com Sorry about the explaination I was just a little happy that I did a job that most mechanics would not touch for some reason. Remember that the socket used for the turning the crankshaft is a 24mm not a 19mm Good luck! www.audiworld.com
