bigtrv Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Hi all, My Q5 3.0 V6 has 180k on it now. Looking at replacing the timing chains and tensioners. Anyone know if it is an engine out job? And how much it might cost to get it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, it is an engine out job as there are four chains with associated guides the chain system when viewed is like a maze and good long days work, cost wise I would be guessing, so have good shop around.

bigtrv Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Cheers Steve. That’s pretty much what I’d thought. Looks like the chains are all on the back of the engine. Would have been nice if they were on the front. Much easier and prob do it myself. But I will get some quotes and see. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
