When to Change the Timing Belt on an Audi

Model: Audi A4 B7 - Years 2004-2008
Part: Timing belt

When should you change the timing belt on your car? It is always advisable to replace the timing belt (a rubber toothed belt with steel cables inside) in our vehicles. Replacement is recommended between 120,000 mi and 200,000 mi, depending on the type and brand of the car. In fact, after a certain number of miles or years of service, the belt can no longer guarantee its actual strength, which can lead to a serious breakage. Always replace the belts and parts when indicated in the maintenance manual.
