Does the 2014 Audi A6 have a timing belt or chain?

A manufacturer-specified timing chain will come fitted on the 2014 AudiA6 except for the 2.0 TFSI engine which has a toothed belt. The timing chain is expected to last for the life of the vehicle, but issues can arise by wear and tear or a faulty timing chain tensioner. Eventually, when this happens, the timing chain may stretch or warp, causing the car to drive aggressively, pause, or even stall. You will also hear a slapping noise when You firSTStart the engine before it's warmed up. Sometimes this is misdiagnosed as a ticking from the lifter. On average, the approximate cost of substituting the timing chain would be between $250 and $300, but it will depend on the labor used to separate and replace the components.
