04 A4 3.0 Ribbed Belt Replacement
Hi guys,
I was going through my manual and at 115K it says to "Check the ribbed belt". I assume this is the belt that runs the accessories (water pump, power steering, Alternator, etc...).
My question is, when should I have it replaced. I'm at 130K. Is it going to blow.... am I driving a ticking time bomb.....
Thanks, bros!

I would say replace it now. Failure isn't likely to wreck the engine but it will likely leave you stranded if the battery is discharged because the alternator didn't work. It won't be anywhere near as expensive or complicated as a timing belt change is - hell looking at where the belt is, maybe you can even do it without removing the bumper/radiator.
