Hi Gareth Sorry but I have been busy searching u tube etc as recommended, but in answer to the questions Yes I have the tools and the skills , I have been working on my own cars and family cars for years, rebuilt some engines and fully restored motorcycles in the past. I have the locking tools and bought a Gates belt kit already however I am not familiar with this Audi engine hence the request for a guide to the correct procedure and I thought it maybe something that another member had done a write up on that’s all , maybe something i could do if i decide to do the job. thanks again John

Hi Is there any guides available for DIY cambelt change on 1.4 TFSI engine please?

Hi Thanks everyone for the advice , I appreciate it. we have bought the car and I could not get them to change the belt , however I did get a fair amount off and full service, 4 new Michelin tyres , and a washer motor sorted which was apparently leaking total bill just under £1000 so I am happy to factor in the cost of the belt myself and get that sorted later , I do have a 6 month warranty as well so covered for now

Hi Yes thanks, deposit paid on car they are looking at history to see if belt done in 2021 and if not then potentially they are going to do it will update as soon as I know thanks for the info advise

Not made a 100% decision as yet but paid a deposit on the car , will be speaking to main dealer on Monday see what they say as well

Thanks All

Hi Newbie here , thanks for letting me join . I have a question and sorry if this has been asked before. We are about to press the button on a 66 plate 1.4 A3 COD tfsi , the car has done 29k only with service history but no evidence of a cambelt change , should we insist that it’s changed for peace of mind ? I have done google but the answers are confusing as to when the belts should be changed to be honest. I don’t want to purchase a car and straight away have few hundred pound bill to get that done but I know from experience the results if you don’t . can you offer advice please thanks
