Is it necessary to replace the timing belt on my Audi A2?

I just bought a used Audi A2 and I'm not sure if the timing belt has ever been replaced. Should I get it replaced as a preventative measure or wait until it breaks? What is the typical lifespan of a timing belt on an Audi A2?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace the timing belt on your Audi A2 as a preventative maintenance measure. The typical lifespan of a timing belt on an Audi A2 is around 60,000-80,000 miles.

I would suggest getting it replaced now to avoid any potential hazards or expensive repairs later on. The cost to replace a timing belt is much less than the cost of repairing a damaged engine due to a broken timing belt.
