Audi Timing Belts

In order for your engine to run at peak performance without suffering damage, the many moving parts must work in unison Ð and at precise intervals. For example, the camshaft and crankshaft must operate in sync in order for the engine valves and pistons to pump at exactly the right intervals. The timing belt in your Audi helps to make that happen.

Even the best timing belts can eventually go bad, though. When that happens, you're at great risk of your engine immediately shutting down to prevent further damage.

How to Spot a Failing Timing Belt

It's not always obvious that your timing belt is failing, especially if the reinforcing cords inside the belt have become weakened. Signs of trouble include:

• Engine misfires
• Exhaust issues
• Ticking sounds from your engine
• Your engine doesn't turn over when you go to start it
