I searched but... Does the B-7 have a timing belt (2.0 or 3.2??)

Reggie

in the press release - like it did on the S4 V8.

Although the chain still needs to be serviced like the belt(very unusual) which means pulling the engine on the S4.

Audi uses chains in all there new engines.

They only use chains in motors that are compact such as the 4.2 V8.

Please posts links with facts. If it is conjecture - but based on intuition like mine say so.

and the 3.2?

AudiAddict B7

Not 100% sure, I think its a belt, they used chains on the 4.2 because of space

THE MEROVINGIAN

The 2.0 happens to use a belt and the 3.2 uses a chain. I was almost certain they were both chains but I guess pobodys nerfect.

Now I wonder if it is in the front or rear of the engine(like the S4)

THE MEROVINGIAN

It looks like the belt on the 2.0 is in the front and the 3.2 the chain sits in the rear.
