Re: When is the best time to change timing belt?
I would reccommend getting it done before the warranty runs out. Mine went at approx. 32K. The bill was written up as normal even though it was covered under warranty so I had a chance to see what it would have cost me. I think it was around $4,680 which included the A/C compressor which siezed up on the test drive after they fixed the belt.There is no advantage to waiting until 60K, it's just not worth the risk. By the way, I was doing under the speed limit in a 25MPH zone when it broke.

Well, even if it's under warranty, Audi's not gonna pay for a replacement just for the heck of it...
I think the book says 105k for replacement, so Audi will not pay for a replacement if it's not broken.
