Audi Q3 timing questions...
Does the 2012 Audi Q3 have a timing chain or a timing belt. Model 8u triptronic 130kw. Am I right to assume that if this car has a timing belt .. I don’t need to change it .. but if it has a timing belt .. this will need to be replaced regularly. If so .. what would be the desired change kilometres.
Our answer:
Hi Steve,
That engine uses a timing belt, which should be changed every 210,000km regardless of time.
