Can we please talk about A6 t-belt replacement intervals again???

[Craig D. Niederst]

I know Audi specs 90k for the 12V V6 in my '92 100S, but I had mine done at
60k as per advice from the list. I believe the 30V is the same, but again,
I'd wait no later than 75k. Water pumps tend to whine or chirp when they are
failing, but I have heard of them just seizing without warning.
