Reasons why it is necessary to always check the timing belt of our Audi A4 B8.

Model: Audi A4 B8 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Timing belt

In this video, we are suggested to check the condition of our timing belt at each service, even if we have not reached the ten-year lifespan of our car, and even if it has not reached the 180,000 kilometers expected by the manufacturer for the belt replacement. In this case, the bearing has collected all the rubber from the belt, which tells us that it is worn out, and also rust is coming out of the water pump holes. After 4 years of the car's life, the belt should be checked, just take a look and we are calm. If there are any issues, we avoid bigger damage to the engine, as the belt will need to be replaced anyway. Furthermore, the radiator was in very bad condition, so we will also have an inefficient air conditioning system as a result.
