Nope 105K miles as I stated earlier.

Mine was done at 8 years old @ 36,000 miles, but my service book (AVP engine) states 80,000 miles.
I know for a fact that Audi regularly change intervals and add time based changes post-production so best bet is to ring Audi customer service for a definitive answer. I'd believe what Elsawin says in ainarssems post but would be nice if they quoted a time based change as well I would guess 6-8 years depending on mileage and use

Another vote here for every 75k.
But why risk it, if in doubt, get it done

Well I've had the car 5 years, done about 40k miles, and it was changed just before I got it. Sounds like I ought to get it done.
What do you reckon? Zip

have audi made any changes of this at late ?
the schedule I have for my 2000 3.7 shows 75k miles with no mention of age ...so wondering what i should do at half that mileage but 7 years at the same time am wondering what tools are essential to change just the belt , my tame mechanic has never done one but I find it hard to believe that an experienced mechanic whould need the list of things I have seen as needed on a belt manufacturers site
