How often should I change the timing belt in an Audi A2?

I just bought a used Audi A2 and am curious about how often I should change the timing belt. Some people say every 100,000 miles, others say every 60,000 miles. What is the recommended interval for this specific car model?

According to Audi's official maintenance schedule, the timing belt should be replaced every 75,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. It is important to follow this schedule as replacing the timing belt before it fails can prevent costly engine damage.

In my experience as a mechanic, I recommend replacing the timing belt every 60,000 miles. This may seem earlier than the manufacturer's recommendation, but it's better to err on the side of caution with such an important component of your engine.
