Should I change my Audi's timing belt early?

Should I change my Audi's timing belt early?

I have a 2010 Audi A6 with 130,000 km on clock. When shouldI have the cam belt done? The manual says 100,000 miles, but not sure on that - sounds a lot to me.

Our answer:

Hi Sean,

The car makers have stretched out the service intervals of their vehicles over recent years, but we don't find it's always a good thing. There's a lot of variation in how a car is driven and its journey types, so we'd always recommend that readers take a cautious approach. In your position I'd be tempted to go ahead and get the timing belt done now.
