Hello. I have an Audi A1 S line 1.4 TFSI 125 PS 6 speed. Engine code CZC. Can you please tell me if this has a belt or a chain? Audi sent me an email saying it needs a Cambelt change at 54,000 miles and will cost £650. Does this sound right?
Hi Gemma,
That car does indeed have a timing belt, but 54,000 miles seems ludicrously low for a belt change, unless there's something Audi has identified as wrong with the A1's belt and it is effectively a recall. Perhaps ask your dealer about that, as our information is that the belt should be changed every 210,000km, regardless of time.
Ask us anything motoring related and please provide as much information as possible so we can give you the most accurate advice.
