Big freaking vent against Audi

[John Larson]

"Someone noted that Audi was not permitted to sell their cars in California
(?) with a short t-belt change interval - thus, they re-engineered the
owner's manual instead."
Hearsay, I think, and urban legend.  Volvo 960s and maybe even the 850s have
a sticker right on the plastic timing cover letting you know that you know
that you need to replace the timing belt at 40K miles.  And you better
follow their advice.  I also agree with the previous reply regarding 944s.
Timing belt, oil seals, and rollers at 40K or the odds are you'll be sorry.
Our cars don't usually suffer from early belt failure, but most techs
recommend they be changed a LOT earlier than 100K.  John
