Hey I was running at 120k on the 2004 A6 and didn't do the timing belt ( dumb I know ). TG the timing belt lasted. Car is gone now...I stepped up to a 2007 S6. I just wanted to make sure on the new A6/S6...that I need not worry bout timing belt in the future..still have to worry bout all other issues but TBelt was an expensive stress.

You guess wrong. I was correct.
I asked my Audi dealer (Stafford Audi) if my 2.7 TDI was belt or chain.

See my question & their answer below.

Question - Does my 2.7 TDI V6 have a timing belt or a timing chain?

Thank you,
Roy Clark

I purchased the car from you.<O</O

NO YOU ARE WRONG! I stated C6's have chains but I was not sure about the 2.7TDI since it's not a US model. YOU came into the thread and said the 2.7TDI has a CHAIN, so I informed the thread starter that it has a chain, then you came back into the thread and said it has a CAMBELT which is the same thing as a timing belt incase you did not know that, so I was trying to help out the poster by using your information since you have a 2.7TDI, but obviously if you look back over the thread you gave 2 different answers first stating it has a chain then a cambelt/timing belt, so you are wrong!

Wasn't the video George posted on your other thread enough to confirm?
