And now it's time to change the timing belt to a new one, and the question is how to do it yourself and save money on the service station. This is possible if you know a little about cars and know how they work.

Time to change the timing

The manufacturer recommends replacing the timing belt with an Audi A4 2.0 TDI 2007 in at least once every 120 thousand km. Do not worry if microcracks have appeared on the belt, this does not mean that it will immediately break off. Indeed, inside the belt has a base of metal, which is created using metal rods. The first thing you need to open access to the engine and, of course, to the belt. To do this, remove the front bumper, as well as the wheels and put the car over the pit. So it will be much more convenient to work with the machine.

Instructions for replacing the timing belt

Since the top of the bumper is fixed on the wings with the help of three bolts, it is necessary to dismantle the fenders in order to more conveniently get to them. To do this, remove 3 nuts from all sides and then in order:

• Unscrew the two bolts and remove the bumper grille, located below.
• Pull the bumper forward and remove it, then dump the chips from the protivotumanok.
• It is necessary to turn off the headlight washer hose, be careful: water may leak.
• On the edges of the radiator frame, unscrew the three screws.
• Next, unscrew the bolts of the bumper.
• On the bolts tighten protective shirts. In the area of ​​the bumper brackets there are holes, and there we mount these parts.
• We push the front panel forward and remove the ribbed one.
