Total redo exept chains. For some reason they mad expensive. I know some ppl might say "ooo chain strech ect ect". How many ppl actually seen the chain vs reading about possible scenario? Chain is a chain as long I don't see sign of abuse (read marks from hitting and wobbling) I'm fine with it. The guide you referring to was there intact. It just felt off. It supposed to be supported by 2 screws but like I said I just got the car never had to deal with 4.2 chain driven one so I'm waiting for parts to see if previous owner put wrong ones or it is the way that supposed to be. Beside that its all timing parts adjusters, rails, tencioners, water pump, intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets thermostat water pump Crankshaft seals. Also B1S1 oxy since that was what I read with VAG at the time of purchase.

I'm at 182K miles which is 292K km. Just replaced Plugs, coils, had trans fluid checked and topped. Looks like it will go strong for a while. 2006 A6 3.2 Quattro. Pleasure to drive.

I've got a 2005 3.2 with 202k and a 2006 3.2 s-line with 215k. Also a 2002 c5 4.2 with 224k and the old man has a d2 a8l with 210k and a d3 a8 short with 160k. Bought them all roughly around the 150k area and did purely p.m. stuff like timing belts and Trans fluid changes. Never a major issue, except a blown air strut recently on the d3.

The point was to add a bit more 200k plus history to the otherwise perfectly relevant 3.2 models and it's quite easy for most to infer that applies to the 4.2s. I'll try and be a nice guy for once and assume you're just trying to be funny rather than a *****!

Since the 3.2 does not have a timing belt I was wondering how you replaced it in two different cars.

Yes sir. Unfortunately I may need to retract that mostly trouble-free past as I've got a likely injector issue on one of those 3.2 cars. I trust It'll be back on the path to 300k shortly.
