Audi 2004 1.8t quattro timing belt
Hey,
I'm at 89k km and just wanted to know when it is recommended to change the timing belt? Anyone know a good place to get it done in the GTA?
Thx!

My manual say 115K. I'm getting mine done next week (I'm at 110K), at a place close to me called EuroCars (in Etobicoke). It's going to cost me around $1,200. I'll let you know how it goes.

I think most people try to do it around 100-120 k kms, if not sooner, as they are knows to faill/break at times, which can lead to some devistating repair bills.
If it looks cracked (at 89,000) I'd personnally just go ahead and get it changed.

Re: Audi 2004 1.8t quattro timing belt
our timing belt should be replaced every 50-70,000 miles. Carmakers have specified the replacement intervals for timing belts. In this database you will find these timing belt replacement intervals along with a little technical information regarding the valve configuration - interference or non-interference. In an interference engine, the valves and piston share the same air space. They never touch, unless your timing belt breaks or skips, and this is a catastrophic failure that requires removing the head and replacing bent valves. Non-interference engines do not risk this contact if the timing belt goes. Nonetheless, either can leave you stranded, so regular timing belt replacement is very important.

I recently had mine changed at a shop near my house that specializes only in Volkswagen and Audi. I bought the parts off ECS tuning and had all components changed + tstat +crankshaft/camshaft seals replaced for only $300 labour, compared to the $600-$700 other shops such as eurotech and independant tuning were charging..
if you want his number pm me, they also did my control arms, great work and great expertise.
