Hi,

I have a 1992 Audi 100 2.5 TDI 6 speed.

Its covered 170K miles, and its due for its cam belts soon (ish)

Do I
1) Replace them and pay an arm and a leg or
2) See how long it lasts until it blows?

It's got f.s.h, and had a recent clutch and gearbox overhaul.

How many miles has yours covered??

Cheers

223,000 but it's an auto so it may have had a gentler life. Possibly.
Belt changed at 175,000 and due again shortly.

Change the belt at an independant and it shouldn't cost an arm and leg.

Get it done and keep enjoying the car.
