Re: timing belt question????
I believe that's miles. So around 120,000 kms, 240,000kms and so on. Always inspect it though. Oil change intervals are hen I check mine.Comment

Re: timing belt question????
yes 5 years max IMO
i can't find it but there was a thread last year where i guy found a b5 S4 that some old man bought and left it in his garage.. the guy passed away and the car went up to auction..
car had under 5k on it!!! it was like brand new
anyways long story short..the new owner changed the timing belt and the OG timing belt literally crumbled in his hands due to age rot..
i do all my cars 100-115kComment
