little bit off topic... but i was in Greece last year and got in a taxi About a 1998 A6 1.9TDI and it had 650,000 KM on it... i was impressed.. the driver said the car has been on the road 24/7 for the last 8 years with 3 drivers a year... he said its had 6 clucthes 5 time belts and still going stong...The only really hassle he send was wheel bearings with the sand and heat... it had only been off the road for 5 days about 5 years ago when someone crashed into the back of him... and it looked like new on the outside!!

lets say... i was impressed... just goes to show if there looked after they will last for ever!!

just goes to show!!

The car I am currently looking at is a 1996 and has 88000 miles. has a full audi service history up to 60000 miles and then a local garage did it. I can't find any specific detail of the cam belt being changed, or would it just be covered under that servicing.

it might be... but dang thats not that many miles for a 10 year old car.... keep this in mind though: the original suggestion was 90,000 miles before timing belt replacement so they may have been waiting.

I'll check my paperwork for you and see when my belts were changed mate and let you know

ben21 · 12-20-2006, 09:22 AM

Cheers for that.

ben21 · 12-23-2006, 11:34 AM

The 88000 mile didn't work out. The one i'm looking at now has done 141000miles

**RickT** · 12-23-2006, 12:46 PM

ben21 · 12-23-2006, 01:20 PM
