When to change my Audi's belt?

When to change my Audi's belt?

Hi i recently bought an A6 2.0tdi automatic 190bhp sline 2017 black edition. I have heard the timing belt should be changed every 5 years and others say 125000 miles? Can you advise what the official maintenance is? Car has 76000 miles up on it.

Our answer:

Hi Sean,

Our data is that it's every 210,000km regardless of time for your car. The 'ultra' models, with the same engine, effectively, have a change interval of 210,000km or five years.

There's no harm getting it done early of course, especially of the car has been used in stop-start traffic a lot.
