Audi 100 2.5 TDI - So how many miles will she do? |
|
|
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

223,000 but it's an auto so it may have had a gentler life. Possibly.
Belt changed at 175,000 and due again shortly.

Change the belt at an independant and it shouldn't cost an arm and leg.
Get it done and keep enjoying the car.

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 ?
Thank you,
Courtney

We're talking about the straight-5, yes? In that case, yes, and quite
easily. The Haynes manual tells you how.

Buy,
Exactly which Haynes manual pertains to the '90 Audi Turbo 200, please ?
Thank you,

Courtney,
No, you can replace the belt with it in the car, it's just easier with it
out of the car. You should replace the water pump and the front crank seal
while you have the thing apart.

The reason I ask is that the factory manual starts the replacement
instructions with the statement, "with the engine removed".
Thanks to everyone for the kind advice,

Steve,
I've tried to write you off line but, even though I omit the SHOES, your
email address still doesn't work.
Do you not accept personal email ?
