    also, the previous owner claims the TB and WP have been replaced at 40,000 miles because the car was not driven very often.
    so i am not sure if it needs replacement yet, but you can never be too safe i guess?

    if previous owner kept the receipt then you can wait to 120k, otherwise no. TB break risk will be very high after 80K. And that will lead to a major engine repair.

    i will have to go to the shop and see if they have the receipts or records. because the PO didnt give me any paperwork for anything.
    it was an older couple and they seemed legit but you never know.

    The dealer suggest to change the TB after 75K, but I suggest to replace it between 80~90K . anyway I got mine changed after 73K
    you can get 100K with this racing gate TB ~> http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-All_Ro...ing/ES2569851/

    Its more than powerful belt

    Most times, it is something else causes the belt to 'fail'

    If the car has 80K at this moment and the TB has been done on 40K then you have 35K left to change it
