A3 2.0 Fsi Cambelt Advise!

[Englishguy]

I have spoken to a dealer on my Audi A3's recomended cambelt interval. Now acording to my sevice book this would be due at 115,000miles but audi are saying 75,000miles. Has Audi brought the time forward due to problems or am I correct ?
Thanks
Chris.

5yrs or 60k IIRC.

Is that for a petrol engine?

I read they revised the figure after several premature failures. I wouldnt be waiting past 75k to get it changed. My problem is my FSI is 6 years old but only has 24k on it..

Audi have revise all there cam-belts from model year 2004 onwards. From 2004 every cam-belt is due every 75k or 5 years the only exeptions are A2s and RS6s.
