Default Just joined the TT Family

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/30015/dsc01127.jpg"></center><p>After searching for a really long time, I finally found the TT for me. It's an 02 Nimbus/Baseball Roadster that I got from a colleague who wasn't even selling the car. It has 9500 miles and really looks great. He even already replaced the cluster. A couple of quick questions. Since it's 6 years old, but only has 9500 miles, when should I change the timing belt? Also, I ordered a Stratmosphere Headliner and was wondering if anybody in the Cleveland/Akron area knows how or someone who knows how to install it without costing me an arm and a leg? Thanks a bunch...can't wait to drive it with the top down for the 10 days of sun we get up here. Cheers!

Default Welcome

Cleveland here as well. The headliner is a straight forward install, you shouldn't have to take it to anyone for installation.

And you KNOW we get more than 10 days up here

Default Time to change TB now.

5-6 years or 60k miles, whichever comes first. Make sure they change the tensioner as well. The parts that fail are the water pump impeller and the tensioner. Most here buy the dieselgeek kit.
Congrats on the new car. It goes without saying that you have bought the finest color combo. Yes, nimbus is also the fastest.

Default timing belts tend to age...and since there's less than 10K miles on it and being 6 yrs

old...i would tend to err on preventative. its probably not on the priority list, but i would consider it before it ages 7 yrs at least.

True^^^ Very nice find. Timing belt now would be wise. Then every 50k after.
