Hi All,

Apologies if this has been posted in the past.

I have a 2011 Audi A3 2L PETROL TFSI Black Edition and wondering if it is a cambelt or timing chain? After doing some homework, it seems its a chain to last the life of the car but one garage did a reg check and said a belt. Apparently the checker gives 4 engine codes, but most garages are saying chain. 

Any ideas? Is ringing Audi direct the best choice? I don't get why i'm getting multiple answers :/

Thanks!!

Hi

My experience is with the 8P Audi A3 TFSI 2007 this has a cambelt which drives the exhaust cam.

On the other end of this cam is a sprocket (vvt adjuster). 

This has chain which then drives the inlet cam, so has both.

If you have both on your model the chain has a tensioner which on my model can fail. So when you change the belt get the tensioner checked out on the chain.

If it fails - its very very expensive!
