Straight after buying my 2010 S4 Avant, I went down to my local Audi dealer to enquire about the cambelt. I was told that it needs changing every 5 years, or 120k miles. As it was over 5 years, I booked it in.
Drop it off today and leave in the loan car, a rather nice Q3.
A few hours later, get a call from the service department, apologising to me, as my car actually has a Camchain and not a belt! They've checked everything and it's all in good condition and there's no charge for the inspection or the loan car.
So now I'm slightly confused, as when I did my research before buying, I was under the impression the V8 had the chain and the V6 supercharged version, had a belt.
Is the chain prone to failing? I've heard horror stories about the V8 and the huge bill replacing the chain and tensioner's
At least I'm £750 better off today
