Audi A3 8L. 1.8. Built in 1997
The previous owner had it changed for the first time at VW at 105,000 km in 2007.
Now I've got 190,000 down, which means 85,000 with the belt in it.
I don't know if I should change now or wait until I've got 200,000.
I only drive 10,000 km a year.
That means next year.

Loading...My parents buy new cars every year. How often do you buy a new one, and how old is your current one?
Hello, I bought a brand new cylinder kit for my Yamaha YZF R 125. I installed it, and now I'm wondering how I should break it in to 1,000 km—just a few hours or just 500 km.
Hello, it's about an Audi 80 B4 1.9 TDI, built in 1996. The picture shows the supply line to the heating coil. As you can see, one of the three things (I have no idea what it is) is broken. Can someone please tell me what kind of cable these are? (the broken one) Thanks…
Will this also give me class BE or something else?

Hi, I have a bit of money and want to buy an Audi S5. The price, including negotiation, is around 20,000. It's very clean, black inside and out. It has Alcantara seats and RS5 rims. It was serviced and shown in 2018. What bothers me is that it has 150,000 kilometers on the clock. What…
10 years or 100tkm is the rule of thumb, it would also depend on the belt. Nen Conti straps can already slip away after 80tkm, while others can also drive 120tkm without flying your ears.
Normally without a big load can also drive with 20-year-old belts, then give it the right gas he can tear. I’ll throw those old straps out right when I buy a car, it’s not gonna happen if he tears, but I don’t have to put it on it.
However, the original water pump can also drive 2 intervals without problems, at Toyota works at least without any problems.
does nothing happen if he tears? Are you kidding me?
No, this is not a joke, there are vehicles in which the piston is located in the OT and completely open valve cannot strike one another.
Mys are so-called free-runners, because the valves alone cannot hit the pistons from the construction. With nem skipped toothed belts can still drive with them, running badly but you still get off the spot when hard comes to hard. You can search for yourself: Toyota 4A-L and 4A-FE.
At Audi, the water pump only maintains one interval. It must be exchanged accordingly 🙂
With your Japanese, the water pump is more high quality.
You can keep it like a rooftop.
Theoretically, the most likely would have been changed after age. In practice, it is by no means unusual that such a belt lasts much longer – with my ex-wife for example a whole 16-year car life.
In a 20-year-old car, the repair costs reach almost the time value of the vehicle – you could easily get the idea to risk it and not change the ZR at all.
Tooth belts contain plasticizers which volatilize over time. After at the latest 7 years, you have to trade it like that. Otherwise, the teeth can break off by curing the material. You should change it by car at the latest every 100,000km or as already written every 7 years. Depending on what happens first.
By the way, the water pump must be exchanged. After 100,000km, they will be happy to leak.
A toothed belt is provided on the basis of the running performance or Age exchanged. Depending on what comes first.
Running performance and age are to be found in the manual.
However, your toothed belt is now relatively old and should be quickly changed, otherwise a motor damage threatens you.
He’s 11 years old, get out!
I can’t imagine that because of ageing he only ran 85,000 and what keeps him together are the aramid fibers that barely age, but rather become brittle by wear. So by Km performance.
If you look good, why do you ask here?
The fibers are not in the belt but in the teeth. Gum ages, gets tough and fragile, so get out.
At any rate, don’t fill us with the cough when the belt tears and all the valves are bent or stuck in the piston.
Then let him in, is your engine, not mine.
He can also lose teeth (as we also lose *g*). This, however, only with correspondingly too high mileage. Mine (Mazda Demio) at about 250000km…
