Hetfield1981 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hi All. I have a 2012 A3 1.8TFSI and was wondering whether this has a timing chain or belt. I've read multiple forum posts with contradicting information so was wondering whether anyone can give me a better insight on here. Thanks in advance.

Magnet Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hello Darren, Sorry, I can't help you with this engine, but if you ring the parts department at your local Audi dealer and enquire about a cambelt kit for your car, the correct answer will be found there - i.e. "It has a chain", or " yes sir, the belt kit will cost you £X". It might be advisable to have the VIN and engine number to hand, but probably not needed. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
