Does my Audi A3 petrol have belt or chain?

Does my Audi A3 S line, petrol 16 valve, 2.0-litre quattro engine have a timing belt or chain drive?

Hi Peter,

You've not mentioned the model year. The 2003-2008 2.0 FSI engine has a timing chain, as does the 2007-2013 2.0 TFSI engine. If those don't cover your car, come back to us with more details.
