Hi!
Help! My A3 with a 110 hp engine, manufactured in 1999, is at the workshop for an inspection. They want to replace the timing belt (for €570!). Unfortunately, I've only found very general information in the database. I already have a new one installed, but I don't have the part number handy. Does it need to be replaced every 60,000 km or every 90,000 km?
Hurry!
Best regards,
Uwe

Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate into English.

Hi!
Thank you, Rainer, for the quick response. However, the link leads to information about Germany.
How about yours? I think you have the exact same one.
Best regards,
Uwe

Hi,
Click the link again; I modified a piece of JavaScript that was preventing the page from loading properly.
The timing belt with the specified part number is already installed in my A3 AHF. Therefore, I will only replace it at 80,000 km (better safe than sorry).
Edit: see below.
I'm sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.
Best regards, Rainer.
