Timing Chain Service/Replacement

[Jamsey1969]

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.
