Belt or chain in a 2007 Audi A3 2.0 TFSI?

Hello,

I’m thinking of buying a 2007 Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TFSI quattro model. Has it a timing belt or a timing chain?

Hi Martin,

There were several different versions of that engine in production that year, oddly, some with timing belts, some with timing chains. We’d need the engine code to be able to answer properly I’m afraid.
