Mine's well beyond that! Is this an official figure or an educated

Official as far as I'm aware. All UK VW and Audi dealers that I've spoken to
are saying that now.

I have never had a definitive answer to this one before.

Personally I wouldn't chance it. Cars that haven't reached the mileage in 5
years will probably have done more shorter journeys which means more starts.
Starting an engine puts a lot of stress on the timing belt compared with
normal driving.
Just my opinion.

I'm sure this is normally true. I think mine has not had a lot of
short journeys. It is only used occasionally.

I'll be getting our A4 belt changed next year when it's 5 years old. Mileage
will probably be around 45k

I've bit the bullet and booked it in. Now I need to work out how to
pay for it ;-)
