Timing belts are typically engineered to last between 30,000 and 65,000 miles, with some lasting as long as 100,000 miles. Audi and Volkswagen vehicle owners are recommended to replace timing belts based on the Audi and Volkswagen manufacturer recommendations for their particular  model. If a timing belt fails, the entire engine will grind to a halt and the vehicle will become inoperable. In the worst case scenario, the valves and pistons will collide at high velocity damaging all vital interior engine components they come into contact with during the course of the collision. There is usually little or no warning preceding the failure of a timing belt, so the best prevention is to replace the timing belt in accordance with Audi and Volkswagen manufacturer recommended intervals.

Dan,
I just wanted to thank you for repairing my car so honestly. I've heard stories about timing belts going out and having to replace the engine. In fact, that's what my dealer insisted I had to do. I'm glad my friend recommended towing the car to you. I know I got off lucky when you were able to repair my motor instead of replacing it, but I just can't believe my dealer did not see that as an option. The car runs better than it has in years thanks to your expertise.

The timing belt has an extremely important function in your Audi or Volkswagen vehicle. The timing belt keeps the engine mechanically 'in time'. More specifically, the timing belt is directly responsible for ensuring that the top half of the engine is in 'time,' or properly synchronized, with the lower half of your engine. In a four-stroke internal combustion engine, the top half of the engine must be perfectly synchronized with the bottom half to successfully complete the four-stroke cycle (intake, compression, power, exhaust). The timing belt in your Audi or Volkswagen vehicle accomplishes this by interacting with a series of cogs connected to the crankshaft (the lower half of the engine) and the camshaft (the upper half of the engine). The synchronized movement of the top half and the lower half of the engine in perfect harmony produced by the timing belt achieves the completion of the four-stroke cycle, producing power in the engine.

Modern Audi and Volkswagen vehicles rely on a timing belt that is crafted from rubber and nylon fibers that are subject to wear over time due to mechanical friction and extreme environmental conditions prevalent within your engine. The environment inside your engine is extremely hostile to say the least. It is not uncommon for temperatures to exceed 500 degrees Fahrenheit in an atmosphere that is heavily saturated with corrosive fluids and vapors, such as oil, gasoline, steam, battery acid, and hydraulic fluid. The timing belt is also at risk from mechanical hazards present in the form of metal and hard plastics. The path the timing belt travels to accomplish its assigned duties is by no means quiet and peaceful, it is extremely volatile and emphatically perilous by design. Despite this rigorous journey and the ever present exposure to hazard, the timing belt can be very reliable for thousands of miles, delivering precise performance and providing exceptional service to your Audi or Volkswagen vehicle.
