Timing belt. Updated with pics
How hard is it to replace/ check the timinr belt? I just bought an 01 A4 with 85,000 mi on it. Wondering if it would have been replaced already ? The car was well taken care of it has the orignal window sticker and everything. How much should I expect to pay for a timing belt change should I have someone else do it? What parts would I need to do it my self?
here is a picture of my belt. still has a lot of blue and you can see all of the writing. was done a short time ago or is what they look like when you guys get around to replacing them?

If you have a 1.8t, this should be a good reference in what is needed (its on a gti so the steps are not 100% the same)

It is time. The parts run 275 over the net for belt and related hardware. Depending on the shop, labor runs 400-600 dollars.
If it hasn't been done already (which I doubt), it is time. Audi engines are interference engines which means that if the timing belt slips, the pistons hit the valves and you are looking at a 2500 dollar job for new valves.

Just wondering,How do you know it may need a new timing belt? Is something wrong with the car now?
I have a 2001 A4 1.8T with 56K miles and I think I may need a timing belt as well.

sdboarder84,
Where did you buy the car from they might have the records. Or you can try Audi America.
