Does the 2010 Audi Q5 feature a timing belt or a timing chain?

Question

Accepted Answer

In the 2010 Audi Q5 with the 3.2 L V6 engine, a timing chain is used rather than a timing belt. The chain is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, benefiting from internal engine oil support and protection compared to a belt that is exposed externally. Typically, a timing belt would require replacement every 60,000 miles, whereas a timing chain only needs inspection around every 150,000 miles. To check the timing chain, one can inspect the tension and sprockets by removing the valve cover.
