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 Ad >> Stay informed about: Audi 100 2.5 TDI - So how many miles will she do?

Change the belt at an independant and it shouldn't cost an arm and leg. Get it done and keep enjoying the car. >> Stay informed about: Audi 100 2.5 TDI - So how many miles will she do?

I have a 200 Turbo with 1/3 million miles. Do I also have to replace cam belt(s) and if yes, will it tear up the engine when they break ?

Can the "cam belt" be replaced without removing the engine ? The reason I ask is that the factory manual starts the replacement instructions with the statement, "with the engine removed".
