Does my Audi A3 TFSI have a chain or belt?

Does my 2013 Audi A3 1.4 TFSI have a timing chain or belt? Confused answers on the net.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

The confusion is understandable, as there was a model changeover for the A3 in 2012/2013. The older version's 1.4 TFSI engine used a timing chain, but the 1.4 TFSI engine in the newer car used a timing belt.
