What are common issues with the Audi 80 timing belt?

I am considering purchasing an Audi 80 with a timing belt. What are some common issues with the timing belt that I should be aware of?

Hi Emma, great question. As with any car, the timing belt is a crucial component that needs regular maintenance. Some common issues with the Audi 80 timing belt include wear and tear, tensioner failure, and belt misalignment.

Hey Emma, I've had an Audi 80 for a few years and my best advice is to have the timing belt changed every 80,000 to 100,000 miles. This will help prevent any issues and keep your Audi running smoothly.

Hello Emma, I agree with Maria's advice. Just be sure to do regular maintenance and listen for any strange noises coming from the timing belt area. If you notice any abnormalities, have a mechanic check it out.
