The puzzling thing about my Audi A6 Avante handbook is that it says the cam belt should be replaced at 133,000 and doesn't even give a duration, only mileage. This is doubling the previous traditionally acknowledged mileage with no reference to age deterioration. I queried this with a very experienced Audi/VW local garage (not a main dealer) and they said it doesn't apply in this country as if geographical location has any bearing on it. I would love to know what an Audi main dealer in Germany would say but that would require speaking the language. This surprising handbook information is supplied by the manufacturer of the car whose reputation is at stake, if inaccurate. Very puzzling indeed
