Default 2012 Audi A4 Premium 2.0 timing belt

Does a 2012 Audi A4 Premium 2.0 have a timing belt? If so, when should it be changed?

No, it has a chain and there is no factory spec for changing it, as there is for belted models. Some have experienced "stretching" and have had to replace it. Audi has updated the chain to address premature wear/stretch, but it's too early to say if the new version will be prone to failure.
