What is the typical lifespan of a timing belt in an Audi 80?

I am looking to purchase a used Audi 80 and was wondering about the lifespan of its timing belt. Is it a part that needs to be replaced frequently?

The average lifespan of a timing belt in an Audi 80 is approximately 60,000 to 100,000 miles or 5 to 7 years. However, it is recommended to have it replaced every 75,000 miles or 6 years to prevent any potential issues.

As a longtime Audi 80 owner, I would highly recommend replacing the timing belt at 75,000 miles or 6 years, whichever comes first. It's better to be safe than sorry with an older car.
