I have a 3.0tdi A8 D4 2014 with 113k. I have tried to find information online regarding the timing chain. There is a lot but I can’t find anything definitive.

Do I just need to service and replace the guides and tensioner or is it best to do the chain when you are in there.

What mileage should I be looking at, is this about right or should it have been done earlier or leave it till later.

Thanks 🙂

I would fit a new chain while I had access, to avoid doing the job a second time at a later date. Chains stretch over time until eventually they are longer than the tensioners can accomodate.

My A8L 2014 has 155k miles on it now. Still original chain I think. Unless you are noticing an issue dont stress about it. If you have the money to blow on getting a new chain, make sure the mechanic buys a full kit with new gaskets, tensioners, chain etc.
