I have recently changed the cam belt on my Audi. A3 with an AGN angine code and 123,000 on the clock, 13 years old. I bought it second hand and I realised when I looked through the service history that it had not been done since 44,000miles. I dont know why they did it then, probably due to age. (5/6 years old)
I did the job myself and only had to pay for the parts. It was easy enough but I now have an issue with the tensioner. I believe that it is due to a fault hydraulic tensioner. Anyone got any information on the matter?
By the way, my replacement cambelt kit came with a sticker to put on the outer top cover saying the milage and date of the new belt.
Hope I have helped and maybe someone can help me?
