Default Hell no...
I did the change at 61k. Updated tensioner or not...I'm not waiting. Better safe than sorry.

Default Are you a troll or something?
The vast majority are, my friend. Problem is, Audi is being quiet and not owning up to it.

Default I was going to upgrade the clutch....but with this and previous posts on the timing belt issue, it's
going in this weekend along with a new thermostat, water pump, Unorthodox UDP, and all belts associated with this tune up.
**** man, I am worried since I got a '99 A4 1.8T with 111000 KM (around 63000 miles). Hope it holds out 'til Friday?!

Default Re: Most ppl change the belt before 90k. They probably should at least update their documentation.
*shudder*
