I just purchased a 2004 Audi A6 with about 59,000 miles on it. I don't have the actual manual so I don't know when is the proper time to have the timing belt changed. Does anyone know when this is supposed to happen? Its a 3.0 if that helps.

80k miles, and change out the Water Pump at the same time as the impeller is plastic and it WILL break eventually. Horrible design really.

I have an Audi A4 3.0 and in my maintenance manual it says at 105k miles, but everyone on here says around 70k or a little over. It's really your call when to do it, but you definitely have another 20k miles before you should start to worry. If it breaks when driving, it could do damage to your engine which would cost near $3000 depending.
80K but replace everything in there when it's done or they will keep hiting you up. Once the car is striped down almost all of the other replacable parts have come off with exception of the waterpump and thermostat.So the expense to replace them is Parts only!
76K miles is the recommended replacement time
