Why does my cambelt need to be changed?

The cambelt is one of the hardest working parts in your engine, driving major parts of the engine and keeping everything synchronised.
Changing it prevents snaps, cracks and tears which in turn minimises the risk of major engine damage.

What happens if it's not changed?

The belt can go slack, making it snap or jump. This can cause severe damage to the engine. Your car will break down and could be very expensive to repair.

What do we do?

We strip down the relevant parts of the engine and renew the cambelt. Then we reassemble the engine and road test your car.

How often does it need to be changed?

Audi recommend your timing belt is replaced every 5 years or mileage whichever arises first.
4 - 5 years (4 years for cars registered before September 2009, 5 years thereafter). This may need to be changed sooner for high mileage drivers.

NOTE: We always replace the water pump (where applicable) including full timing belt kit
(includes timing belt, idle rollers and tensioner)
