Default Disregard what anything or anyone might say and do it by 60k miles...

...reports over the last several years are rampant with complaints of a broken timing belt prior to the 90k miles listed in some manuals.

So about 7-10 hrs? Anybody know the Audi "allowance", e.g., under warranty?

Default Does the "Assured" warranty cover this? (more)

I would assume not if it is a scheduled item but i would suspect they would cover damage if it blew up on road PRIOR to the suggested 70 or 90K or whatever the mileage it says to do it is?
